<cjns1989@xxxxxxxxx> was heard to say:

I didn't say anything..

There appear to be keyboards where some keys are physically located
in a spot that's easily accessible with the thumbs.

That's a good idea. I have to say, alt and ctrl aren't that easy to
access, in truth, although, of course, I've grown accustomed to them
(especially using Ion3 where so much can be controlled with the
keyboard). If they were "below" the space bar and thumbable, that
might work out pretty well.

I found out about such keyboard after thinking the pretty obvious "if my
pinky's are weak and overworked.. why not use my thumbs".

You can google for Maltron & Kinesis + keyboard for pics of these.

They tend to be rather pricey.
