Hey everyone!

I frequently bump into hardware and software which makes my life a lot more complicated because I am left handed. At home, I can put my workspace as I want and arrenge my desk as I want.

However my workspace at university, is set up for right handed. Now I have to draw with my arms crossed, in order to be able to use the hotkeys in Photoshop.

There is one specfic hotkey I wish to change, which is the left-Alt key. I want to swap it, to the 0, on the numlock area, so I can reach it with my right hand, without having to cross over my left. Due to cable management and all that, I have a hard time moving around the keyboard and hardware. I even had to bring my own mouse as well, in order to be able to use that.

I checked in the hotkey settings in photoshop, and looked through everything, unable to find where the left alt key is bound. I really want to change this, so I don't have to go home in order to work the fulliest.

Does anyone know where I can find out where the left alt-key is bound?

Oh yes, and if anyone knows how to move the interface in Mudbox to the left as well, that'd be great!

Hey! I know what you mean. I'm a leftie too and that has always been sort of a problem.

The "Alt" key is not bound to any keys; it just modifies the behaviour of several tools, shortcuts, etc. So unfortunately you can't change it.

I don't know if you're allowed to use a tablet where ou are (I'd be surprised, but I still don't know ), but if you can, turn it over to the left-handed position and assign one of the buttons on your tablet to the Alt key to make your life easier.

It's not much of a solution, and you probably already tried that, but if you hadn't, there it is!

I think you should talk to your istructor about this though He or she will give you the best answer!

Hope this helped.
