I use my palm to hit the control button/space bar and do everything else with what you could call my pinky. Shift keys I have to hit the button with my thumb and do a stretch to hit the number keys. Funny enough I type faster then most people (80+ wpm), even with only two fingers on the keyboard with both hands. Holy crap O_O. If this is a serious post you have mad respect from me man. | ||

Index and middle finger for most things. Ring finger sometimes for queens/scouting drone/overlords. Easy for me to swap from hatch on 5 (middle finger) to 4 (ring finger). Used to 1a2a3a4a solely with my index finger. Now 1 (middle) a (index) works when I haven't made extra control groups to flank. | ||

I shift my hand to the left and use pinky on shift when I'm in combat though. I also have inject remapped to o, so that I macro my queens to be 0, then ring finger on 0, pinky hits o, index hits backspace, mouse is centered on screen then I click hatchery, then quickly pinky o to reselect queens, index backspace to switch bases again. This setup hurts a little in the early game but it pays itself off in the late game. | ||

The middle part of my palm below the pinky is what rests on and presses the control key for me and my pinky is able to get the shift key. Probably has something to do with the shape of your hand and your keyboard. I tried resting my hand on control as you said, and not only is it awkward to press control that way on my laptop, but it also forces three of my other fingers all the way up beyond the F keys to my volume control. Not good for me at all. | ||

for everything else I use my other 3 fingers moving over the keyboard as required. I've got pretty massive hands though so I can reach ctrl+8 (pinky and index finger) as my limit. I lose 9 and 0 sure but I can live with that. | ||
