Re: need advice on hjkl and rsi

Give dvorak a try. The hj keys are on the left hand, and the kl keys are
on the left and right hand, respectively. Also, you might find that less
finger motion overall will help with agitation (I find that it helps,
some friends of mine say it doesn't help them. Pick your poison, I
guess).

Last but not least -- if you're having problems with an RSI injury,
maybe see a chiropractor for some advice on ergonomics :).

HTH,
