or, if you're really that much a dedicated emacs user, get a split keyboard with modifiers on the thumb. as you suggest, you can also double-map modifiers, so that C-M-x is just two thumbs and a finger. you can go really fast this way.
- BeetleB 4y agoThat's fine advice, but I will note that twice in my career I've had bad RSI issues due to overuse of my thumb. I learned the wisdom of trying to utilize as many fingers as possible. Perhaps it slows me down a little, but my performance is not correlated with typing speed.
