    I recommend that everyone shift all the screen shortcuts to cmd + (3,4,5) instead of cmd + shift + (3,4,5). Also if you go into keyboard setting you can make a shortcut out of any menu item in any app.

    But how do I do it comfortably with my fingers? Happy to learn something new, but I've been using Karabiner as a crutch for 5 years because holding command with my thumb and then reaching over it with my index finger to hit "c" and "v" etc, is so awkward compared to Windows where I would just hold control with my pinky and then reach easily with my index. (Well, the top row may be easier to reach while holding command with the thumb, so there may be some trade offs at play.)
