It is fairly common for emacs users to bind Ctrl or Meta to caps lock for improved ergonomics. There's also a bunch of RSI sufferers that are using foot pedals, which actually makes a lot of sense.

I personally switched to emacs for more than just Lisp when I started developing early signs for RSI. Switching to a purely KB driven interface has saved my wrists.

I use kmonad to make Space act as Control when held, and it's absolutely life-changing - not just in Emacs, but in all applications.

This is my configuration -

I will absolutely try this one out, it looks a lot more useful than binding caps lock.

It pops up a surprising number of times.

Keysets or chorded keyboards have been around since The Mother of all Demos, but never really seemed to have caught on. It makes sense to me to put them at your feet to chord some common actions or modifiers.
