This enables me to press the Ctrl key-using that part of my palm-while keeping the other fingers, especially the pinky, on the home row keys (good luck doing this with laptop keyboards tho). I use a full-size mechanical keyboard, and what I’ve found comparing to a laptop keyboard is that the latter has flat keys, which makes it harder for me to access, say, the Ctrl and number keys simultaneously as this forces my fingers to “contort like a pretzel” as you say.īut with a mechanical keyboard, I technically use “6 fingers” with my left hand, the extra finger being my palm-specifically the bone right before the pinky.
