    Yes! I never liked typing the letters in the left column, now it’s not possible!

        Where do you copy the A from to get to Wikipedia?

              I only need to start the w and everything lines up in my url bar for me to ‘down arrow, enter’ my way to wikipedia. I only go to three sites anyway, right?

          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.
