      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 Bucket

      A= 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= Unhide

      Q= 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.
