I'm a modified hunt-and-peck typer. I know where all the keys are,
but i need to look to get my bearings and I only use my first two
fingers (index and middle) to type and my pinky to hold shift and hit
return and tab. My thumb works great for that pesky command key.
Oh, if you have to think about a key-command before you use it, you
arn't using keboard shotcuts enough. This comes up very quick when I
use PhotoShop ...err... on my Duo (Ok, back on topic, and yes I do
use PhotoShop on my Duo along with Illustrator and QuarkXPress) The
ammount of time that is wasted when you switch tools versus the
hotkeys to switchs quickly adds up (especially on a slow Mac)
Even in the finder.... option-drag get you a copy,
command-option-drag get you and allias, and my favorite,
command-delete to put a file in the trash ....uuuh.... to clean up
the small hard drive on my Duo (Back on topic) I don't know how I
lived without that in pre MacOS 8.
