Control in Caps Lock is only a small improvement for emacs users. The best option is to put a little pad in the control keys and use your palms to hit it: http

- gerikson 7y agoThat's a bit impractical for laptop use ;) I no longer live in Emacs like I did for the first half of my previous job, but so far (touch wood!) I have avoided RSI by just remapping Caps Lock to Ctrl.

- paddy_m 7y agoI'm glad they are all screwed together. Years ago I broke my wrist and couldn't rotate my left wrist in all of the proper ways. I tried some key pedals, which were helpful but very finicky, there wasn't good tactile feedback and I had to screw them to a piece of plywood. What did work very well was taking a Kinesis Freestyle [1] (two completely separate keyboard halves attached with a cable) and mounting the left side to a hobbyist vise [2]. I removed the vise (clamping part) and kept the base. Then I made an adapter plate (plywood) that allowed me to mount the left half on the base. Then I could position that half at any angle and rotation I wanted. This probably got me typing again four weeks earlier.
