Re: [Avid-L2] Ideas For MC Editors

I've been using a method like this since I started using Avid. I pretty
much never have to move my left hand since everything that I use can fit
onto one side of the keyboard (including the shift modified keys). I used
to be gamer so JKL is actually on ASD since that's where the hand always
rests (A=left, S=back, D=right, W=forward). I've recently been more
involved in the effects side, so now I use the right side of the keyboard
for all of that stuff, including redundant keys that are already on the
left side like FF/RW just so I don't have to move my hand back until I'm
out of effect mode.

Still figuring it all out though. I try not to get stuck with the same
configuration as my methods are constantly evolving.
