Uh... How does this keep you from taking your hand off the mouse? On
MY keyboard, i can do ctrl+c and ctrl+v with one hand. But not reach
the insert key.

I'm left-handed.  I do the cut/copy/paste keystrokes with my
right-hand.

Awhile ago, I was having a discussion with my dexter sister, about
Window's standard accelerator keys.  She was surprised that the
program I wrote didn't have built-in support for ctl-X, ctl-C, ctl-V.
I didn't know they were standard keystrokes.
