Keyboard
You might find it helpful to reconfigure your keyboard: Some people find it helpful to either move the position of the fire laser key, or to transpose the yaw & roll keys. Other people find that their standard Gaelic-language keyboard fails to allow them to use their Torus drives, for example.
- Keyboard Cobra OXP retunes the navigation keys to be more precise helping accuracy with your laser.
- TSOJ suggests rebinding the navigation keys in a more easy-to-use manner
- This key-map [v.1.79] is a little dated, but is still helpful
- Foreign language keyboards.
- Linux keyboards (non US) can be a major problem: see here.

ie: programming. For those untutored in these mysteries, one often starts with tweaking and then progresses further.
