I'm left-handed, and I've always been really happy with the keyboard layout
in Softimage. O and P is extremely engrained in my reflex, I've never used
the S key they introduced in XSI. Also as a Swede with a Swedish keyboard,
my right Alt-button is fudged, it's assigned to something called Alt GR
which does different things than Alt does. I find myself switching between
the English and Swedish keyboard layout all the time, especially in
programs that uses the [, ], >, <, \ {, } etc keys a lot. On the Swedish
keyboard, those keys are used for ÅÄÖ and that sort of thing. I guess
that's why they added the Alt GR - to be able to write the brackets using a
another modifyer key instead. In most programs, Alt GR registers as
Alt+Ctrl for some reason, so all the Adobe programs is a pain in the ass to
use.I digress. I really like the keyboard layout in XSI is all.
