Yeah the caps lock switch is critical I think, since then you can press that key without curling or twisting the finger. Look at technique for musical instruments that require applying pressure with that finger, eg cello, they go through a lot of trouble sometimes to avoid that particular contortion bc of its lack of control and the long-term stress it puts on the hand. If that doesn't work I know people who have used a usb foot pedal and it seems to work well for them. Or, if vi bindings work for you, just use vi bindings. There's no nobility in the emacs bindings. I like them but if something else works better just use it.
