Ah, I see. Having used a space cadet keyboard for years, everything else is, ironically, easier. The SC had nice big easy to hit targets for bucky keys and other important ones like return but ironically the space they took up required more stretching. On my MBA meta/control/command are close and reachable without stetching.

Which is a long winded way of saying no one way is perfect for all. Some people even apparently will willingly use a mouse!

Thanks for the explo for your perspective on scrolling. Because i'm an emacs user I use search a lot more than actually scrolling.

they can be close and reachable, but there is no way to make them as close and reachable as a single alpha key
