Keyboard Shortcuts for the Left Hand
-
I have finally accomplished re-assigning my Keyboard Shortcuts so that my most used commands are within a finger’s reach of my left hand resting at the corner of the keyboard. Along with the use of a three-button mouse for all camera movements this Shortcut Layout allows me to design with almost no cursor trips to the toolbar for normal work. This arrangement also sharply reduces having to look at the keyboard as the keystrokes can be accomplished by touch alone.
Here is my Keyboard Shortcut List: (starting with the bottom key row, left to right.)
Z= Move
Shift Z= Fredo Movalong
X= Line
Shift X= Freehand Line Draw
Alt X= Explode
C= Circle
Shift C= Make Component
V= View Hidden Geometry (Toggle on/off)
Alt V= View Toolbars
B= Paint BucketA= Change Axes
Shift A= Draw Arc (2 Point)
S= Scale
Shift S= Fredo Scale
D= Delete
Shift D= Dimension
F= Push/Pull Tool
Shift F= Follow Me
G= Group
Shift G= Close Group/Component
H= Hide
Shift H= UnhideQ= Rotate
W= Select None
E= Erase
R= Rectangle
Shift R= Rotated Rectangle
T= Tape Measure -
I wouldn't recommend doing this because you won't be able to work on another computer anymore...

Leftie here.. I don't see no special benefits (for lefties) in your concrete table. Consider using NumPad heavily.
Don't hesitate to alter the shortcuts- it'd boost productivity over 9000%. In order to work on other PC just put preferences file on cloud.
