AutoHotkey
I have been using AutoHotkey to do keyboard remapping for more than a year now. It has given me a very significant improvement in typing speed, but more importantly less strain in my fingers.
I do the following remappings:
I don't necessarily expect that everyone will find these remappings useful, but I expect that everyone could benefit from some remappings.
I don't care much about typing speed, but I find hitting wrong keys very annoying, so I simply pull off the keys I never use, like CapsLock and Insert. Works equally well on Mac, Windows and Linux, no special software required :)
I usually pull off the insert and "Windows" keys and most of the keys from the numpad, leaving enough for a second set of arrow keys and not much more.
Oh, I used to do that all the time. Those keys should be relabelled "fuck up whatever it is you were trying to write". Now that I'm a bit better at touch-typing, I don't do that any more, maybe I should (insert still is kinda annoying).
