You get used to your own tools.

I sometimes have to adapt to a foreign working environment, including the computer, OS and peripherals.

For light programming, I'm getting by with Sublime text - which has great cross platform support.  I haven't the time to heavily customise my environment, as for all I know the next day, I might be shifted along to another computer.

The most frustrating thing is the small differences between setups: different shortcuts, slightly different key (or rather the mapping of glyphs to keys) placement.  And having to negotiate an alien keyboard.

I accidentally ordered a small portable cherry mechanical board without the super keys, and with a PS2 connection,  which is a drag, as it could have made things slightly easier - my other mechanical is just too heavy to throw in my backpack and take on my bike.

One thing I've noticed over the last week is that I really am not comfortable with the Apple keyboards and I've noticed that in using them, it kind of screws up my typing style.

I have got into a good habit of floating my hands at home, but I just can't quite do that with the Apple boards, my hands tend to drop lower and I end up resting on my palms.  It never feels as comfortable.  When I come back to my usual keyboard my approach has changed and I'm somewhat debilitated - and it stunts my typing.  With some practice I can get back to normal.

So this is really an observation on how quickly you can effect your typing by making what appears to be quite a small change - when one is outside their native habitat.

Perhaps the chiclet boards favour the hunt and peck style over touch typing?
