Likely tied to muscle memory and what word you are typing. Or what you are
doing with your hands.

I like more how, say, Photoshop deals with a color picker. It has its own, BUT
you can also use the system one. That gives you the best of both worlds.

So my stupid muscles (like the memory is actually in there) remember typing form and type form instead of from? But I type from much more often. Or is the sequence OR more common than RO?

Typing.

Agreed. Although I'd never use Photoshop, too complicated and slow.

One of the things with communism, the government controls stuff so there are standards. All tanks have the same size bolts.

Really don't know, but I would go with the OR over RO.

I meant in terms of where they are and where the keyboard is. Maybe not
consistent?

It is complex... but it does a LOT. I am out of practice with it, though.

There's probably a webpage which can tell us.

Possible. That reminds me of a professor, I was fixing his computer, sat in front of it, and asked him to type his password. He said he needed to sit in front of the computer. I assumed he didn't want me seeing the password and said "I'm looking away". He became quite agitated and insisted he couldn't type at all without being in front of the keyboard. If he was blind I could understand it.
