    Yes it is much worse then I remembered it to be too.
  • Here's a firefox extension that may allow you to change your keys the way you need them: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyconfig_extension
    Does not work. I tried it awhile ago.

    A question, how are you guys switching caps lock and ctrl?

    I've found quite a few different sites that detail it, but I'd rather hear it from people on this forum over some random site that I don't trust 100%.

    Edit: For Windows, not Mac.

    Thanks.

  • When I was in high school in the mid 90s the keyboarding class was taught using electronic IBM typewriters. When I would make a mistake I had to get out a piece of correction tape, hold it in front of the paper, and hit the letter again. It was a pain in the ass to line it back up if I didn't catch the typo until after I pulled the paper out. The benefit is that I learned to type with few typos. Unfortunately, I didn't learn the ten key till later and I tend to go through keyboards fairly quickly.

    Oddly enough, I've got a problem in the reverse order - I learned on a computer keyboard, but I now have a typewriter, and I had to learn to type slower. Turns out the speed I type at, I keep locking the letter-bars together and have to keep stopping to unjam my typewriter.

    I just found out that Ubunchu is in the iPhone app store for free. There are actually two different apps. One is left to right, and one is right to left.
