Swap caps lock and control on your keyboard
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/RepeatedStrainInjury Cheesus Crust... just switch editors already.
Spoken like someone without foot pedals.
M-x Ctrl-? Why?
Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)
I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.
How about get a mechanical keyboard with modified switches for your combining keys? I've been wanting to do that for mine for gaming.
Svalboard. Not am EMACS user (it's a fine editor/Lisp interpreter) but, even nice mechkb isn't necessarily going to prevent RSI or exacerbation of existing conditions. Best to change to a text-entry device that is designed with humans in mind.
Seems legit .. wonder what the vi developer had to say.
Neovim developer got sidetracked configuring their reply plugin
couldn't post as they're still trying to escape their selfmade hell. /s
:q!
Evil mode, god mode, devil mode, meow mode all exist to fix this problem
