[FullyFunctional]

Indeed, the Emacs pinky got me started on a life-long interest in [ergonomic] keyboards. The best solution I have found so far is the Kinesis Advantage where Control is moved from the weakest finger (pinky) to the strongest (Thumb). I also swapped delete and Alt (Meta) so the thumb is use for Meta as well. Fixed all my problems!

Incidentally I _also_ switched to Dvorak too, but only for that keyboard. Works great because muscle memory "feels" the keyboard is different and uses the correct layout without cognitive overhead.

Move shift to spacebar (use spacebar for spaces also) and you're all set!
