I changed my vo key to caps lock and I'm so happy I did, just pressing the one key makes things so much simpler especially when working those multi key combos.

On the Apple Bluetooth keyboard, this means one must hold down with the left-hand the function, control, option, and command keys while pressing the up or down arrow keys with the right hand.. those are the four keys to the left of the spacebar and for those of us with carpal tunnel, this can become a crippling position after some time. my solution is to use a “chip clip“ to firmly hold these keys in place which allows me to then operate the arrow keys with a single finger of either hand, and this greatly relieves the stress I would otherwise experience in the left hand nerves. I imagine that a clipboard would also work as long as the jaw of the clip was at least as wide as those four keys, but I wonder if the intense pressure of a metal clipboard might not damage the keyboard itself. As it is, the plastic chip clip has enough force to hold the keys down but I don’t think enough to damage the keyboard. by the way, if anybody doesn’t know what I mean by a “chip clip“, it’s basically a plastic wide clip used to reseal a bag of potato chips after it’s been opened. And they can be found at any grocery store. Anyway, that’s my solution for a problem that was threatening to keep me from being able to read in the Books app or on any app that requires use of a keyboard. I know there’s another fellow on this list with carpal tunnel and maybe he can get some ideas from this.
