Nobody! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 5 points 7 months ago (1 child) How did you even type those characters?! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] tankplanker@lemmy.world [S] 5 points 7 months ago What looks like left sided mods of esc, tab, shift are in fact q, a, z. Esc is q and w together, tab is a and s, shift is if I hold down Z. Why would I choose to do this? To get me to use my pinkies more for normal typing. On a 40% (which is my normal keyboard) I use only the three larger fingers, which is a bad habit if speed is your aim. permalink fedilink source parent
