I use emacs a lot, and having the ALT and CTRL keys in the wrong place always gave me wrist pains. I also use the F keys a lot, and having them in a row above the keyboard, where you have to go looking for them, is definitely not the way for a touch-typist. That's why I'm still holding on to my dying Northgate keyboards, which have the F keys on the left, where I can access them without looking. Why did they ever move them away to where you can't find them? Greg
