Quote[15:24:15] <+SeriousSam77> >using ctrl z
[15:24:17] <+SeriousSam77> get outta here
[15:24:36] <+SeriousSam77> I only really use my alt key
[15:28:37] <~rtil> wait
[15:29:04] <~rtil> <+BluPhoenix> pinky over ctrl, thumb over alt , ring finger over z
[15:29:10] <~rtil> is this with your left hand?
[15:29:16] <+BluPhoenix> yes
[15:29:22] <~rtil> what int he fuck
[15:29:26] <+SeriousSam77> ?
[15:29:28] <+slack> are you sure you dont' mean
[15:29:30] <+SeriousSam77> that seems normal rtil
[15:29:30] <+slack> pointer on z
[15:29:37] <+BluPhoenix> no
[15:29:42] <+SeriousSam77> pointer on z would be uncomfortable
[15:29:45] <~rtil> my index is on alt and middle on z
[15:29:45] <+SeriousSam77> middle seems more suited to it
[15:29:52] <+slack> and ring over z isnt?
[15:30:03] <+SeriousSam77> rtils setup is actually a bit more comfortable
[15:30:06] <~rtil> if your ring is on z, your middle and index finger are hanging off the size
[15:30:11] <+slack> for me
[15:30:16] <~rtil> why are you stretching your ring finger all the way to z
[15:30:24] <+slack> it's every finger on g13 gamepad
[15:30:33] <~rtil> maybe this is due to keyboard layout
[15:30:35] <+bd648> hah
[15:30:39] <~rtil> because this makes no sense to me
[15:30:40] <+bd648> both hands on the mouse
[15:30:43] <+BluPhoenix> my keyboard is very basic
[15:31:17] <+slack> right hand on mouse, left hand on gamepad
[15:31:24] <+BluPhoenix> but yeah it makes the rest of my hand sticky out in the air

[15:31:41] <+slack> how the fuck is ring finger
[15:31:42] <+slack> on z
[15:31:50] <+SeriousSam77> oh hey keyboards have two alt keys
[15:31:57] <+SeriousSam77> uhhh
[15:32:00] <+SeriousSam77> ring is next to pinky
[15:32:03] <+bd648> MINE HAS TWO ENTER KEYS
[15:32:04] <+SeriousSam77> pinky on ctrl, ring on z
[15:32:07] <+SeriousSam77> that isn't a stretch
[15:32:14] <+SeriousSam77> yeah bd aren't yours right next to each other
[15:32:16] <+bd648> LIKE RIGHT NEXT TO EACHOTHER WHAT THE SHIT
[15:32:20] <~rtil> with thumb on alt though
[15:32:23] <~rtil> it becomes a strange pose
[15:32:35] <~rtil> you're moving your fingers up a row for no reason
[15:33:11] <+BluPhoenix> well i mean sometimes it's my ring sometimes it's my middle finger
[15:33:21] <~rtil> you can't just switch fingers all willy nilly
[15:33:24] <+BluPhoenix> but more often than not, that's how my hand defaults

people who need to use ctrl+z are subhumans
color picker only master race


also, why is there no ring ctrl, middle z, and index alt option? It's the most comfortable

why is "pinky on ctrl, thumb on alt, index on z" not up there

it's the only logical way of doing this, at least on my keyboard

It's the default combo for the Real Undo That Undoes More Than One Thing on my version of Photoshop.


Control: Pinky
Z: Middle
Alt: Index

My left hand rests in basically that position anyways.
