This. Whose addled mind decided WASD was right and proper? Pinky resting on Caps Lock makes so much sense. It's baffling that WASD is the default.
Why does your keyboard have Caps Lock in the place of Shift?

Alternatively, if your pinky finger is as long as your ring finger you probably have too many chromosomes. Or too few.

It doesn't. What's up with your hand that if you slide your hand left one key from normal typing position with pinky on A that it doesn't end up on Caps Lock. Granted it's not difficult to slide it down to shift in that case, but I still don't get moving away from the default typing position.

In the typing position your hand is at a different angle. You don't use the same angle for WASD because you want your middle finger to be on W not S. Well, at least I don't. If you curl all the fingers the same amount your pinky would probably end on Shift.

BROS ALSO REBIND CLASSIC GAMES FOR WASD

OTHER THAN THAT ASSUMING THERE IS NO HORRIBLE OBVIOUS PROBLWM I REBIND AS THE GAME DEMANDS DEPENDING ON HOW OFTEBN KEYS ARE USED

NOT REBNDING KEYS IS JUST POPAMOLE
