A comment on Ten Years of ThinkPadding.

One major complaint (of mine) is the small size if the arrow keys. Macbook pro is even worse with up/down keys smaller than left/right. I don't know why but they all keep a huge right shift key that I never use. They should cut it to half and give more spaces to the arrow keys.

Sadly the new Macbook pro keeps the design. I'm getting sick of hitting page up/down accidentally when navigating code.

I’d recommend you check again. Apple doesn’t sell a laptop without an inverse-T arrow key layout.

Pick up some Vim skills, your future self will thank you. Vim bindings are available in every editor worth using. You’ll never touch your arrows again.
