Well, I found that I was overusing my left little finger for reaching control far too much. So I unbound it, and now left control is a second shift key. This means that I now type nearly all control key combinations with two hands. Avoiding stretching too much. Also, S-tab is now more easily reachable. I can move down and to the left to use it. I usually bind it to some form of completion. -- lawrence mitchell
