  1. it just struck me: #wasd should die in pain, the left-hand direction keys for #gaming should have been #esdf from the very beginning! sometimes engineers (as in: programmers) can be the stupidest people while being the most clever at the same time :-/
  2. Every PC #game should come with a default #ESDF control config (as well as the common #WASD), because it's simply more ergonomic.
    * F keys have an indent so it's easier to sense that your hand is in the correct position with ESDF.
    * The touch-typing hand position is closer to an ESDF scheme than a WASD scheme
    * More keys become available to the left of the hand with ESDF, which may make control schemes more reachable.
    * WASD schemes force left-handed people to rely on their weakest finger.
