Thanks for the suggestion, Michael. It works. So does my method, which is
left ring finger on the w, right thumb on alt and right pinky on insert key.
Both work, but both require a moment's thought exactly for the reason you
talk about-that they break the rules.

Adrian, for the insert + alt + w, try putting your left thumb on the alt and
your left index finger on the w. Brandon, I am a pianist. 
Maybe I could get a gig testing new Jaws keystrokes for playability. 
Seriously, it is sometimes better to abandon what you learned in touch
typing as to which fingers cover which keys. The rules go out the window
when you have some of these awkward combinations you have to do quickly and
it's not a crime to use one's stronger fingers instead of your fourth and
fifth fingers. Rotating your wrist, or moving your elbow out or in, to get a
better angle can also help reduce some tightness for certain combinations.

Michael
