Productivity Tip: The Left-Hand Shortcut Mapping System

Your mouse hand already does enough. Why not let your left hand take control of app switching?

Welcome to the Left-Hand Shortcut System—a layout method designed for instant access to your most-used apps.

The Concept

Use your pinky + ring/middle fingers to access:

• Control + Tab, Q
• Control + Tab, W
• Control + Tab, E
• Control + Tab, R

These keys sit naturally under your fingers. Assign them to apps you switch to 20x a day.

Sample Setup

• Q → Notes or Docs
• W → Slack or Messages
• E → Browser
• R → Code editor

Why It Works

• One-handed operation
• Works while right hand is on mouse
• No finger stretch or strain
• Speed = fewer errors
