Well, actually, it's not that special at all - just a slightly modified standard-scheme; e.g. accessing the c-key (not CTRL, the letter C) with the forefinger instead of the middlefinger and so on. This way, my hands form an A over the keyboard by default; the only backside is the wide stretch of the small fingers to acces the CTRL-keys, which was no problem at all 'til I got rather fed up with "word processors" and found myself hooked up with the emacs. Well, thanks to you, it seems I can now start making full advantage of it. :-))
