@demon btw there's also an article on 'ban shift key'. but, i've triedto get rid of shift about 3 times in separate years, but ultimately theyall failed. basically, when using OS or app shortcuts, i find that sometimesone just need shift. hard to do so sans a dedicated shift as is. I alsotried to have just a single shift, that didn't work out neither.
i guess my question is why not use the thumbs for shift?
@demon i think there are 2 reasons for me. one is, even with keyboard withlots thumb keys, but practically, each thumb can only have 3 comfy thumbkeys. but there's lots commands competing for those spots. Also, if youhave a thumb key for shift, there's a question about whether it shouldbe both hands. So, it'll may use 2 thumb spots. For me, i ultimately chosenot to have shift in thumb. But i think shift at thumb is absolutely agreat idea. (the traditional shift spots, are shitty. )
the reason i ultimately don't have thumb for shift is because.. few reasons.one is that, if you do it on one keyboard such as kinesis, but your otherkeyboards for work or home may not be the same keyboard, such as uhk orgergo or any other. So, you have some sort of juggling mental map/layoutsof diff keyboards. If shift stay in traditional positions, you have 1 lesssuch worry. Second reason is, as i mentioned, traditional software oftenexpect a normal shift, at traditional position. so it's hard to removeall shift or make them one-time-shift or other weird mod. third reasonis, the symbol keys (shifted number) is a bit complex. depending on whatkeyboard and cirmware capabilities, it's complex to create symbol map sansbeing a number key, or impossible to do that at all. (i think it's impossibleon kinesis, but i haven't really explored.)
put it in another way: if you just have 1 keyboard, or just 1 type. say, all your keyboards are ergodox, then, you create your own optimal shift/symbol system, and that'd be good. but with diff keyboards, weird customized layout creates more complexity. (especially shift. unlike control alt winkey, the shift is more complex because it ties to number symbol)
and why use the number row if you have to reach farther?
@demon this is about the science of keymapping. :slight_smile: for example, i can ask, why press 2 keys when you can just press one?
i have a article on how to compute shortcut layout efficiency score. Emacs vs vim, Compute Keybinding Efficiency http://xahlee.info/kbd/efficiency_of_keybinding_emacs_vs_vim.html
and my last vid on gergo keyboard talked about that
gonna post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjtW6bJh3ws
Xah Talk Show 2020-07-18 gergo keyboard review, and keyboard geeking
@demon i've been using uhk for 3 months as my main. and that is extensively used.
one major problem with that is, if you have a duel function key, that key will lose the ability to be hold and repeat. One great example is the back delete key. I put it on thumb. (partly due to kinesis habit, partly because it's really freq used). But, i also made it to be a dual fuction modifier. But now, i can no longer hold that key to repeat delete.
this is the biggest problem i found with dual function key.
another issue with one-shot shift is that, now if you need TO TYPE CAPS, the one shot shift becomes a problem. Unless, now you need another key for capslock.
or, unless you always work in emacs vi etc that has a command to upcase word or sentence. But, often in browser, discord, chat etc, it's not practical to assume you always in emacs.
for example, when in chat, someone is typing all caps, either as a joke or something, and you want to joke back or report, STOP THAT! but, then you realize it's hard to type that cuz u don't have standard shift nor capslock.
or for example, say you are not a gamer, but this one time you want to try out a game your friend suggested. Then, you realized you can't cuz your keyboard no have normal shift.
small issues like that.
Apple Keyboard Layout Diagram Tool
another example. In Mac or Windows, sometimes you have pressing shift 5 times to turn on certain keyboard feature.
the thing with extreme customization is that, once you stopped using that particular keyboard or system, for a few months, it's hard to come back to it cuz you forgot what keys do what. This happens in life. e.g. unexpected you have a vacation, covid, or got sick, etc.
in those situation, when u r back at your keyboard, you have to fetch your notes or diagram of your layout. Or, when your app/OS changed due to new comp etc or switch job, or lang, the workflow changed. then, often you find your ultimate, truly finely customized ultimate layout, is no longer optimal. Then, it's back to redesign all over again. very time consuming.

Final Cut Pro's designers have carefully organized the tools you use to configure settings and preferences. The goal of this organization is to make it much easier for editors using the most common hardware and video formats to configure FCP—and much more difficult for users to unintentionally modify individual settings within a preset configuration. This chapter covers in detail the various preferences and customization options that are available in Final Cut Pro.

Final Cut Pro HD for Mac OS X: Visual QuickPro Guide
Final Cut Pro's designers have carefully organized the tools you use to configure settings and preferences. The goal of this organization is to make it much easier for editors using the most common hardware and video formats to configure FCP—and much more difficult for users to unintentionally modify individual settings within a preset configuration.
FCP's preset principle is balanced by a highly customizable interface. At the end of this chapter you'll learn about options for reconfiguring Final Cut Pro's interface to complement your personal working preferences.
About Easy Setups, Presets, Settings, and Preferences
Capture, device control, and sequence settings are all organized into preset configurations, and these Audio/Video presets are grouped into master presets called Easy Setups.
Any of these preset configurations are completely customizable, but most FCP users should be able to choose an Easy Setup based on their hardware and video format, specify a scratch disk for media capture on the Scratch tab of the System Settings window, and forget about settings until they change their external hardware.
FCP 4 preference settings are accessed from four menu choices: Easy Setup, Audio/Video Settings, User Preferences, and System Settings (Figure 3.1).
Macbook Keyboard Layout
Figure 3.1 Access preference settings from four Final Cut Pro menu choices: Easy Setup, Audio/Video Settings, User Preferences, and System Settings.
Easy Setup
An Easy Setup is a master preset configuration of multiple Final Cut Pro settings: presets for a Device Control preset, a Capture preset, a Sequence preset, and Audio/Video Playback settings. Instead of choosing several presets and Video and Audio Playback settings using various tabs, you can make one selection in a single window: Easy Setup. FCP offers several standard Easy Setups, but you also have the option of customizing an Easy Setup.
Any customized setups you create are stored in the Custom Settings folder in the Final Cut Pro Documents folder, which makes your custom setups portable.
Audio/Video settings
FCP's Audio/Video settings have their own preference window, called Audio/Video Settings. That's where you can make detailed adjustments to your Sequence presets, Capture presets, Device Control presets, Video Playback, and Audio Playback settings, should the need arise. Your Audio/Video settings are summarized on the Summary tab. If for some reason you want to modify your underlying basic QuickTime settings, you can access them through the tabs in the Audio/Video Settings window.
User Preferences and System Settings
Unlike the Audio/Video settings, which are largely dictated by your hardware and video format, a preference is a setting that specifies how you want to work with your media in Final Cut Pro. FCP 4 preferences have been divided between two different windows: User Preferences and System Settings. The settings in these windows affect all your Final Cut Pro projects.
Accessing preferences and settings
Frequently, Final Cut Pro provides more than one route to access your settings for presets and preferences. For example, you can access the capture preferences from the Capture Presets tab in the Audio/Video Settings window, and also directly in the Log and Capture window by selecting a preset from the Capture/Input pop-up menu located on the Capture Settings tab (Figure 3.2). The list of Capture presets you access directly from the Log and Capture window is labeled Capture/Input, but the preset list is the same, and any changes you make on the Log and Capture window's Capture Settings tab will be reflected on the Audio/Video Settings window's Summary tab (Figure 3.3) and in the Easy Setup window (Figure 3.4).
Figure 3.2 Select a different Capture preset from the Capture/Input pop-up menu located on the Capture Settings tab of the Log and Capture window.
Figure 3.3 Your change is reflected on the Summary tab of the Audio/Video Settings window.
Figure 3.4 You'll also see your Capture preset change in the Easy Setup window. All three windows reference the same set of Capture preferences.
One of the reasons FCP's designers based their configuration scheme on presets is that they wanted to make it easy to completely configure the program settings without having to alter individual settings. And it is easy to get confused. Some settings windows look the same but actually modify different program settings. For example, Sequence presets and Capture presets have separate QuickTime settings options. A mismatch between capture settings and sequence settings makes clips play back poorly when you start to edit them in the Timeline, and a settings mismatch is one of the primary causes of user difficulties with FCP.
So how can you avoid problems and confusion? When you launch Final Cut Pro for the first time after installing it, your answers to the Initial Setup questions determine the settings you see in the Easy Setup, Audio/Video Settings, and User Preferences windows. It's best to start with the default settings, use the recommended Easy Setup, and make changes only if you have a specific problem. If you do make changes, your troubleshooting will be most effective if you make one change at a time.
