{{Rogue 7}}: Cut

* Compounding this, the previous generation had a setting to make the left shoulder trigger act as a duplicate of the A button, allowing you to play using only your left hand--massively convenient for playing at breakfast, using a flashlight to compensate for the original GBA's lack of lighting, trading with Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD (which can be played using just the right hand''), and so on. In the DS games, the L trigger is used to switch between different menus (which was an available setting in the GBA games, but now it's the only option).

Because you can use L=A in Diamond and Pearl. I use it.

{{Ununnilium}}:
** This troper had to change the button configuration, it was so bad.
** This troper actually had to change his button settings in Halo 3 so that the right-thumbstick became the melee button, like it is in the CallOfDuty series. However, this hampered his sniping capabilities as he has to remove his thumb off the right thumbstick into order to engage the optics on a scoped weapon.
** This Troper has tried to melee in RSV2, has tried to go prone in Halo 3, used grenades rather then iron sights and tried to use iron sights in Halo 3. It got even worse when switching from Halo 3, to Halo PC Custom Edition with a XBox 360 controller. So many messups, so little time.

ConversationInTheMainPage and/or redundant examples.

****While we're in Minish Cap, all Zeldas have a sword button and one to four item buttons. MC has instead two item buttons, with the possibility to equip the sword in one of them. Hard, specially if you screw up in the equip screen and invert the order...
*****...all Zeldas except for, well, every single Zelda on the Game Boy series of handhelds, including ''Link's Awakening'', which is mentioned just up there...

Self-defeating and ThreadMode-y.

CirceuS: Heavily simplified the natter-like keyboard examples. ~~~~

{{CodeMan38}}: I totally know the feeling of the one troper who runs both Windows and Mac OS on the same computer. I, too, find myself reaching for Command or Control when the other is what I should be hitting. And it gets even worse when I'm running Windows apps natively in OS X via Darwine... -_-;;

YourObedientSerpent wonders if RealLife examples would be appropriate. Just as a single example, how many times have you gotten in your car on the weekend to go someplace, and found yourself turning in the wrong direction, because you automatically started driving to work?

{{Joysweeper}}: IThoughtItMeant non video game things. In the StarWarsExpandedUniverse novel "Allegiance", an officer from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau, which is known for being extremely cruel and [[YouHaveFailedMe willing to kill suboordinates]], takes up a blaster and threatens a trained stormtrooper who reacts as he's been trained. OhCrap. Then the officer pulls out ''another'' blaster, and the stormtrooper shoots the officer dead. After that, the trooper and his friends who had been nearby have to flee.
* Joysweeper: ''Is'' there something for non video games? I recently read the Cobra trilogy(like Allegiance, it's by TimothyZahn), and after the super soldiers go home after the war, their super-ness - unbreakable bones, servos moving each joint, a combat computer with ridiculous reflexes - isn't removed. A character is almost hit by a car, and his combat computer responds by shooting the tires out, making it crash and killing the driver.
