@abcdw I have heard of these mythical people who use both hands - curious to see if they really exist!

@sanityinc I've tried, but the benefits are questionable, right now I have a button for space under letter N.

@abcdw on phone or and real keyboard?

Phone it seems right only, but real keyboard both. (Tested it)

@abcdw When someone asks you how one does something one usually does without thinking, one cannot consciously do it, so for a few moments I didn't know how I press the space button.

Then I recalled there's a big shiny spot on my space button originating from my pressing it countless times, and it is somewhere mostly on the rightmost third, but the shine starts forming in the middle.

Right... anyway, right.

@abcdw I am right-handed by use my left for the spacebar. I think it is because my right hand covers more keys and is more busy so my left fills in doing the easy, repetitive work. I also sometimes play the piano, my right hand is definitely more articulate.

@abcdw It's on my right thumb cluster on my ergodox.
