Who needs Q, Z and, erm, A, anyway? Nobody!
How did you even type those characters?!
What looks like left sided mods of esc, tab, shift are in fact q, a, z. Esc is q and w together, tab is a and s, shift is if I hold down Z.
Why would I choose to do this? To get me to use my pinkies more for normal typing. On a 40% (which is my normal keyboard) I use only the three larger fingers, which is a bad habit if speed is your aim.
