Stop using the cursor keys. Force yourself to use the WASD area of the keyboard - you'll have easier access to the CTRL and Alt keys, and as an added bonus you can use Q and E to strafe. It'll be worth the effort. =)

I've also bound the 'show enemies' command to my mouse thumb-button. That helps me a lot also.

(to answer your question though - no.)

Don't think there is a way, so you're stuck with it. Oh and finally, an explanation for ur utter noobishness.

Can't you buy those left-handed keyboards and mouse? :/

I'm left handed and manage to play all games fine with default settings

It's personal preference though.

I've developed a really nice callous on my left pinky finger from having to hold down CTRL for hours at a time.

hi chimpy, when can you come back to gw? i miss your leroy warrior n00b

about the WASD... i think i wrote someplace that i am left handed.. so i have a good mouse i have my left hand on (Razer diamondback, perfect for us left handed) and the arrows works just fine.... was just wondering if there was a way without having to press the buttoon all the time.

I'm left handed too - but I use the mouse right-handed and work the keyboard with my left hand. Ambidexterity FTW, I guess.

My advice still stands.
