In my personal experience, it's the mouse that does the most damage. If you use Emacs but switch Caps Lock and Ctrl, you'll be much better off than using a normal IDE and the mouse.
If you must use the mouse, try using your non-dominant hand. To start with, it feels strange, but only for a few days.
- silencio 18y agoI tend to mouse with my left hand (I'm pretty ambidextrous but more right handed than left), but my problem is that nobody makes mice for left handed mousers. Every single one of my logitech mice, especially the one I love (mx revolution)? For right handed people. Logitech makes like all of one lefty mouse (not counting the equally lame ambidextrous mice), and it's an old model I'm not interested in. All the other manufacturers are the same. The only exceptions are touchpads (obviously), which I switch hands for, and Razer gaming mice which are nice but not as nice as using an mx revolution for everyday mousing needs.
- holygoat 18y agoI put a large trackball in the middle of my keyboard, or on the left side. Works great.
- silencio 18y agoI've had a couple trackballs throughout the years and they just give me finger strain to control accurately (thanks, tremors). What I would dig a lot is some sort of multitouch touchpad like the one on my laptop, except bigger. I have a 6x11 Wacom tablet that's great but it's not the same. Of course, I would love a multitouch display, but those are far off into the future.
