		acabal on Jan 18, 2014 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Keyboard innovation is making them worse I like them specifically for reading web pages. When reading I can just rest my hand on the right side of the keyboard and browse with home/pgup/pgdown/end. Usually when I'm reading like this I'm not typing and so not in the mood for ctrl gymnastics.

While it doesn't remove the gymnastics requirement, a relatively nice alternative to webpage pgup/pgdn is shift-space/space.

Pressing the spacebar in a browser has the same effect as the PageDown key.
