other thus using both controls and alt keys. I'll go check today if I can find an ergonomic keyboard too.
If you're serious about going down the ergo keyboard route the Kinesis Advantage http://www.kinesis-ergo.com/contoured.htm is *the* way to go for Emacs. It puts all the control keys under your thumbs and the dished shape and soft "bottom" to the touch are more than worth the price of admission. I went from pain so bad I could barely type (much less drive my car or pick up my kids) to pretty good shape and there is no doubt in my mind that the keyboard was a big part of it.
Yes, I'm a fan. It's totally worth the time it takes to re-train your typing. And everyone else will be intimidated away from your workstation as a side-benefit :)
