In my modest experience, most people who have issues with RSI and especially carpal problems, they almost universally use Emacs! It is such obvious thing.
I know you can remap keys or whatnot, but if you look at people experimenting with layouts and trying to resolve RSI problems, it is always Emacs.
I used emacs briefly, not long enough to say, but it seems pretty obvious where the problem is. I understand why people don't want to change their favorite editor.
- ericbarrett 5y agoIf I were an Emacs user I'd swap CapsLock and Control, since that's the layout used when Emacs was first written.
- yonaguska 5y agoI no longer use emacs, but that's the first thing I change on any new workstation. I hate that windows doesn't support an out of the box config for this.
- tom_ 5y agoWhat sort of keyboard was that? The space cadet keyboard is often cited as inspiration for the Emacs combos. The Wikipedia article suggests its layout had mostly-symmetrical meta keys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard
