So I tried it, and yes, I'm right thumbed. Next question
is of course, what do I use the left thumb for, at all?
Well, if I'm using the emacs editor (yes, I'm weird and
maybe very old-fashioned or extremely up to date) I use
my thumb on ALT for ALT-W and ALT-Q. These are mappings
of:
kill-ring-save M-w, <C-insert>
Command: Save the region as if killed, but don't kill it.
fill-paragraph M-q
Command: Fill paragraph at or after point.
This stuff all make sense to me. Is emacs maybe an
intellectual virus? I've been infected for 30 years.
