jjjiii once posted something about a different key layout for computers, too. There's definitely room for improvement on this layout and system that we've been using for so long. I use on of those split ergonomic keyboards and love it, along with an optical wheel mouse with the wheel button set to "double-click." But I'm a big keyboard shortcut guy anyway, and usually only use my mouse for browsing locally and on the web. To navigate around text that I'm editing, I use HOME and END to jump to each end of a line, CTRL + LEFTARROW or RIGHTARROW to jump from one word to the next, CTRL + BACKSPACE to delete words behind the cursor, CTRL + DELETE to delete words in front of the cursor, and CTRL + SHIFT + whatever to select text. CTRL + C/X/V for copy/cut/paste too.
Any other favourite shortcuts used out there? ALT + LEFTARROW or RIGHTARROW in any web browser also goes back or forward a page, and CTRL or SHIFT + CLICK on a link usually opens the link in a new window.
