Neat hack. I often type C-[ for the ESC key on terminals where it located in Outer Mongolia. TAB is C-i. etc. But it sounds as if you have bad typing habits. A good touch typist doesn't move the lower arms or wrists much at all, but just the fingers. To hit the return key you should reach right (usually from the home position on the key to the right of "l") with the pinky of the right hand to the return key, tap it just hard enough to activate and move the pinky back. Touch Typing classes aren't hard to come by. Check your local H.S. out. Or get a good touch typing text or program and try teaching yourself. enjoy -len Member of the League for Programming Freedom.
