First day back with the left pinky swaddled in bandage. Man, what a pain in the butt this is. You don’t realize how much you use the pinky (I’ve renamed it “Mr Shift Key”) until you don’t have it available to use. Every now and then muscle memory kicks in and attempts to use it – and the resulting swatch of control-shift-alt-windows-Z-A invariably invokes something interesting.
I think it’s just going to take a little bit to get used to this… wracking the hand a little to the left to use my ring finger for the shift is awkward and tiring.
This whole thing makes me wish the other interfaces for computing were more effective for me – pen based, or multi-modal interfaces…. Speaking of which, I think I’ll go grab a pen and give the kayboard a rest for a bit…
