My left hand is always on the homekeys (ASDF). I wonder the same for alt jumpers since in any other keyboard scenario alt is one of the rare-use keys.
For me it's more that I got used to jumping with ALT from the times when I didn't need to keybind so much stuff and because it was the default. I'd always start MS up with my right hand on arrows, and left hand on SHIFT/CTRL+Z+ALT. Cause that was all I needed aside from buffs that I had on my insert/end/delete etc keys, and reaching A/S/D for the few other skills I had. Now I can't imagine changing it and made all my other skills and movements work with it. I have two different hand positions for training versus bossing. And alternate between jumping with index finger and thumb depending on which keys I need to reach.
Edit: I also dislike jumping with space because of the noise it makes and how it doesn't feel as precise, somehow. Plus, space has always meant dialogue for me as I play a lot of VNs.
Here is my layout. I use a gamepad. Whenever I have to use the keyboard, I feel so awkward so it hard for me to revert to that on occassions (looking at you Heroes Blockbuster).

I never gave myself the chance to get used to it. The only other game I played before MS had jump on F so the first thing I did when I started the game was see if I could change it.
At first I did it that way, different keys for bossing and mobbing but I eventually got tired of changing so I just set it up in a way where I can do both. Wish we can save more than one lay out though.
Yeah, the space sound is obnoxiously loud. Sometimes even a soft tap makes it seem like you're raging. XD
Wow.. that's a very efficient layout for your left hand. And much less reconfiguring too. I'm afraid I can't put a skill on J though, my fingers are too short for my left pointer finger to get all the way there.
Possibly offtopic: I've been meaning to put my pick-up key somewhere else as I haven't used it in a while (thank you pets). You just gave me an idea where to put it.

Do you guys playing with a controller ??
