Here's an #accessibility question for you.

If you are left-handed, do you have any issues with the combinations Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste) on your keyboard, if you semi-simultaneously need to use your mouse?

That is, while you are operating your mouse with the left hand (presumably), is it difficult for you to type Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V with your right?

Please comment only if you are left-handed (or ambidextrous) yourself. Thank you!

Boosts for reach much appreciated!

@xahteiwi I use the mouse with my left hand, and I've never found this to be an issue. Movement between mouse and keyboard is pretty quick. And often there are menus that allow for selecting copy or paste with the mouse. But selections are often "sticky", so you can mark and then copy etc. There's a few programs I use that aren't like that, but they focus on using the mouse, so that isn't a problem either.

(I'm mostly right handed, but prefer to use the mouse on my left.)
