Make a new keyboard layout

My muscle in my pinky is strained from pressing enter and backspace so much. If I were a programmer or worked on computers for a living, I'd learn dvorak or colemak. Those are alternative keyboard layouts in such to optimize/minimize finger movement. I prefer dvorak since it's a completely different layout, vs colemak which has less modifications to qwerty. It's like learning a completely new language and not be tricked by false conjugates.

Really though. The enter and backspaces keys are too far to be effective. I've gotten to be a really shitty typer though. If I were to not make any mistakes and know how to spell the word before I'm typing it, I can cruise at 100. I think. I had a a friend who pulled 130 rather easily.
