I have Emacs pinkies - I see the value in similar efforts. I will try this out for some time to see if it actually helps. But muscle memory is a thing for me, it is hard to undo 20 years of Emacs habits.
- cobbzilla 6y agoI always remap Caps-Lock to be an extra Control key; this has really helped me avoid repetitive stress injuries over the years.
- mrspeaker 6y agoA weirder one for me that I like now: my RIGHT pinky has been hurting recently. Not sure if it's emacs fault, but I've been using "Enter/return key as CTRL when held"... When you hit return it's normal return key, but if you just hold down return it acts like control! It was weird at first, but now it's awesome - especially useful on a Mac lappy that has no right ctrl key.
- stragies 6y agoTake it a step further: Remap CapsLock to be 'Escape' when pressed&released, and 'Control' when held. Easily configurable under Linux with xcape, and (iirc) karabiner for Mac. For Wayland there is also a tool.
