Assessing Your Keyboard Use
----------------------------------------
Before configuring RSI KeySwap, it can be useful to assess your use of the computer keyboard and try to work out how any strain is being caused. For example, right-handed users may often find that strain is being placed upon the smaller fingers of the right hand and on the tendons in the right forearm by continuously moving between the Backspace and Enter keys and the mouse (if positioned on the right hand). In this case, it can help to swap the functions of commonly-used keys on the right hand, such as Backspace and Enter, with less frequently-used keys on the left-hand side such as Caps Lock and Escape.

In general, when assessing your use of the computer keyboard, it helps to try to work out which fingers and parts of the hand are under the most strain, and swap the functions of keys they are using frequently over to keys in another area of the keyboard.
