To the Right, To the Right!

mouse on the right again ... ahhhhhhI just moved my mouse back. Too many of the hotkeys and shortcuts were designed around the left hand, and I couldn't find enough workarounds. I even got to the point where I put my watch on my right hand (to stop it from scratching on the desk) and considered moving all sorts of things around ... all for my mouse.

In the end, it just didn't seem worth making so many sacrifices for a cause that I'm not even sure made any sense -- turns out, the left hand has 56% of the load, while the right only has 44% anyway. In fact, most of the inefficiencies seem to stem from the layout of the QWERTY keyboard (as opposed to DVORAK). Perhaps that's the next change to try?
