Re: need advice on hjkl and rsi

I too suffered from rsi, so I changed to the dvorak keyboard...that helped completely. Also, I learned to navigate by words etc ('w') and so. also, if you can only use one hand then maybe you could change to the one handed dvorak keyboard.

My right hand (fingers,palm,wrist,elbow,shoulder) was previously
suffered from RSI because of using mouse.  Now I never use mouse
except in firefox (iceweasel) and x selection.  Recently I need to do
heavy editing and data entry, apparently navigation using hjkl started
to injure my right hand again.  I am thinking of swap keyboard layout to
its mirror image using xmodmap.  Does anyone have other suggestions to
navigate with left hand?
