@starbreaker There are lots of ways to get around emacs key-chording woes. My favorite way is to use a keyboard that uses your thumbs for Ctrl etc., like Kinesis. That cured my left wrist.
@wrenpile Not willing to buy a keyboard when changing editors fixes the issue. Besides, Catherine prefers joe. Says it reminds her of DOS.
@starbreaker I know this probably sounds smug, but when you work at a computer all day long, being able to use a high-quality mechanical keyboard with an ergonomic layout is liberating in ways people who just accept the keyboard that came with their computer most likely can’t imagine.
In any case, there are software solutions that let you use full emacs without chording, as you can see in that ergoemacs page I referenced.
@wrenpile We already have mechanical keyboards. The layout isn't exactly ergonomic, but my wife's problem wasn't just physical pain. Thanks for trying to help, though.
