Re: one's finger positions on the keyboard

chris,
Oh. The left thumb. Now that's something I never thought of. Anyway, 
personally, I'm fine with the new key combo I assigned to this, and I don't 
expect to mislead anyone in a discussion about that function. No problem. I 
do remember how everyone confused each other about how to do the Reply 
directly to Sender special Jaws command, with some people saying it was this 
keystroke and others saying it was   that, and no one understanding that it 
wasn't set the same for everyone in two different Jaws versions. And then 
there were people who didn't understand that what was being discussed was a 
special Jaws function, not a normal Outlook or Outlook Express sort of email 
reply command. So I agree, it can get crazy. But my fingers are happy, and 
that's what matters to me. I promise never to discuss this topic on the list 
and mislead anyone by describing the keystroke I use. :-)

Excellent comments however I would only use Keyboard Manager as a last 
resort,  as departing from default keystrokes means that people end up using 
different keystrokes to achieve the same thing and in terms of list 
discussion, wires can soon get crossed.  As for the Insert+alt+s keystroke, 
I find it easier to leave my 4 fingers over the ASDF keys and just slide my 
thumb off the space bar to hit the left alt key.


Cheers
Chris

Hi
I have noticed that on the  list it was often discussed to change
keystrokes in keyboard manager  which are difficult to stretch one's
fingers to use them. I'm not trying to discourage people to use keyboard
manager,  feel free  to  assign a  feature to a key stroke which is most
conveniently for you. I just thought  of letting everyone know that I
can easily press alt+insert+s, the  keystroke for   selecting  a  speech
scheme, its very easy. do the following:
Place your fingers on the home row as  is taught in typing with your
index fingers on the f and j keys.
Now place your left pinkie on the left alt key.
Now you can use any right hand  finger to hold down the insert key on
the number pad.Now tap the s with your  left ring finger.
Its really easy; I don't find it difficult at all.
But don't feel discouraged to use keyboard manager, I just thought of
letting everybody know that I personally  find it easy to press
alt+insert+s.
sincerely--
