>> I mapped Esc onto one of the thumb keys.

>> That's a good idea, and one I hadn't thought of. Which one did you give up?

I have done a bunch of remapping. I

(1) mapped Esc onto End so that Esc is on my thumb.

I can still do Home and End by going into Keypad mode, but I don't use these keys too much.

These are other remappings I did:

(2) Reversed up and down arrow so they match vi cursor movement. (I don't use vi, but gmail uses the vi mappings for up and down.)

(3) Put Meta (aka Mac's Option) (for Emacs) on Home and Page Up so that I have a meta key on both thumbs. Put Page Up on Right-Alt so that I still have a Page Up key.

(4) Swapped Delete and Tab so that Tab is on my thumb.

I think that's about it.
