Exactly.  I mostly use hot keys that only require my left hand and keep the 
right on the mouse.  It requires adjustments to posture to use two-handed 
hotkeys that are not only inefficient but uncomfortable on my back.  Besides, 
I'm a lousy typist (even though I could play a Brahms concerto back in the day 
- go figure).  Those of you who frequent irc are well aware of the word salad 
that sometimes comes off my fingers.  ;)  But yes, perhaps standard Devuan 
hotkeys would be a good idea for those who use them.
