How do I place my fingers to press Control, Option and Command buttons on Apple keyboard?
What is the default and correct way to press these buttons? I'm using these keyboard shortcuts:
Command-C, Command-V, Command-Option-V, Command-Shift-V
Option-Shift-Left
Command-Spacebar
Option-Spacebar
My left hand is twisted when I try to use these shortcuts. I would like to read an article or watch a video on this topic.

There is no default way or the right way and whatever you're comfortable with at present should be fine. However, using crazy combinations can give you an injury worse than an emacs pinky, so it might be worthwhile to check what others use. Here's what I do:
For simple modifier + one key combinations, I use the modifier key in the appropriate half of the keyboard. While it's still thumbs for the ⌘ keys, I find it easier to pivot about the ring finger for ⌥.
