I've never actually heard of anyone getting "emacs pinky" since one of the first convenience things you'll do is to make sure Ctrl is somewhere comfortable.

- oblio 5y agoIf <<everybody>>'s doing it, wouldn't it make sense to just change the default value?
- rpdillon 5y agoThey probably would, except the change everyone makes (Caps Lock -> Ctrl) is in how their operating system sees their keyboard, which is not something Emacs has direct control over.
- AndresNavarro 5y agoIt's not that easy if everybody is doing it in a different way... I prefer both control keys next to the space bar, then alt/meta, then super. I have a short spacebar and can do both control and alt with my thumbs. Others prefer an extra control where caps lock is. Others have special keyboards with thumb clusters. Some may use sticky modifiers. And there's even some people that actually like the "normal" layout(!).
