Before I realized my bad habit, I would contort my left hand to hit
"Ctrl Alt x" -- this feels awkward and if you do it enough times over
the years the repetitive stress builds up. A better way is to use both
hands. This may seem obvious to those who did it right from the
beginning, but if you start off down the wrong path, it can be a real
pain.
To execute C-M-x using both hands, simultaneously hold down the Ctrl
key with your left pinky while holding down the Alt key with your
right thumb, and hit "x" with your left index finger. Doing it this
way feels natural and smooth. Now I almost always use my right thumb
for Meta/Alt, and once I realized this, the Emacs command combinations
made much more sense.
I spent years with the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome and tried
all sorts of changes, including using both hands. But, finally, I
started using viper mode (vi key bindings) and I have had no carpal
tunnel symptoms for 10 years.
