Introduction
Welcome to the TrackMania Turbo - Super Effective Ergonomic Keyboard Remapping guide, SEEKR for short. It is the first in what is now a series of guides.

The purpose of this guide is to remap TrackMania Turbo's controls to what I, the author have personally selected and playtested, and deem a significant improvement to comfort, reach and by extension execution time.

Even the most obscure actions (with few exceptions) such as toggling player names can now be performed without moving your hands off of the home position.
Usage
For optimum results I recommend that one has the centre of the monitor aligned with their nose, WASD aligned to the left arm rest and the number pad aligned to the right arm rest.

The modified keyboard controls are as follows:

Accelerate: NUM 8, [left] ALT
Brake: SHIFT, NUM 5 [number pad]
