I've been thinking left-handed again, and since I use the numpad for all my in-game keys, remapping them is a little tedious, and I was thinking that there should be a way to preset them all to CTRL+NumPad settings. That's what I do manually, just add a CRTL to all trainer keys. A setting on any future/current trainers to not set keys to num, but to ctrl+num as an optional default. Is that a hard thing to ask for? A reasonable option? Lefties would love it! Thanks.

A note on my underlying logic: since the trainer controls are hardly accessed - most once a session - placing them UNDER the keyboard makes better gameplay sense, as it leaves the entire unshifted keyboard for remapping/play controls. Assigning the NumPad keys takes them away from user access of NumPad; most right-handed users don't mind, as their keyboard hand is the qwerty side of the key board (righties would go crazy-in-love with a left-sided NumPad to game with! It fits the hand much better than the offset keyboard keys!) Hope that helped.

offset as in keyboard "s" is not under "w" but askew. NumPad "5" is directly beneath "8" the x/y grid of the NumPad and the extra buttons surrounding the numbers make game control much more flexible than a keyboard, in my opinion. Each config has about the same number of reachable keys, and because the NumPads added different sized buttons that makes them my preferred setup.
