tumblr post by seokoilua: it’s so wild to me that some people just speak english all the time… like they can’t switch it off to speak in a #real language when they need to

      Rebind alt to ctrl as God intended, win/menu to alt, and the crummy corner ctrl keys pressed by the pathetic pinky, to switch to the desired language at once.

          Mac user, more like. Macs have the main modifier, the command key, under the thumb aka the strongest digit. But have you also seen MS Natural 4000 ergonomic keyboards? They have humongous alt keys, which are of course properly remapped to cmd in Mac. Using that pair is nothing short of a revelation. I don’t want to ever once pretend again that my pinky finger is seriously supposed to be often used in shortcuts. It’s nonsensical and self-debilitating.

            ik the mac layout, it’s just that haiku maps alt to opt, which it also happens to use as the primary modifier (for things like copy paste etc), so still under thumb like in macos, just with weird names unlike macos. in haiku win is mapped to cmd, but uses as secondary mod (like alt in windows). then ctrl is mapped to alt, which acts like win does on windows (system level commands like window management) EDIT: fixed typo

            at least that’s how i remember it

            my brother also has that weird ms keyboard btw, i liked it
