I found the C key uncomfortable when I began with the angle mod and considered moving it. I didn’t move it and persisted, now the middle finger curl to C is effortless. I would recommend giving it time.
Agree, the C is probably the most difficult to adapt to of the Angle Mod changes, especially if like me you were previously using the "incorrect" index finger. But it's worth persevering as the new C is not that bad, and certainly too good a spot for X.
]]>Some people have advocated switching C with F, since they are both the same finger, and the middle finger can more easily reach the top row. But that does break the ZXCV pattern more.
Regarding the copy/paste shortcuts, there is another solution if you use Extend: I have both Extend-C and Extend-D set to Copy, with Extend-V set to paste as you'd expect.
]]>I just wanted to know if anyone has ever considered moving the C Key given its new location with the angle mod? Since it is in the former X position now, it requires one to curl their middle finger to reach and I feel like a swap with the letter G might be good given their relative frequencies, especially for those with longer fingers, and that shortcuts can still be done with one hand (in fact even easier since you dont have to skip over the D key to copy paste).
Just wondering.
