Ok, i know kbmap :)

This 'leftys are poor people' feeling comes from MS-Windows and their
GUI-philosophy-follower
which define Ctrl+V, Ctrl+X and Ctrl+C as shortcuts.  These are on the
left side of the keyboard,
so i have to move the left hand between keyboard and mouse frustratingly
often.

I apologize for blaming rio et al for something that they never have done...

Would right/left-handed dvorak be a good choice to keep one hand on the
mouse and the other
on the keyboard?
