Anyone know if the firmware allows you to program keys to emulate a mouse? I use this often with tmk_keyboard https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard firmware and found it to be just good enough to never use a mouse and keep the keyboard on your lap which is much better for my shoulders.

No, but contact the support ( http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/support/technical-support/contac... ) they are wonderful.
Agreed, this could be a feature that could be added if there is enough demand with the firmware.
On OS X Karabiner probably lets you. Maybe their firmware could also if you contact them. I once got sent a debut version of their software for the foot pedals and it had tons of cool hidden functionality.
yep. but you're limited to using d as the trigger for the mouse. it should be customisable somewhat but i haven't explored about that.
