AFAIK, MS Natural just projects the same layout as in normal keyboards
in a non-contiguous and non-rectangular fashion to reduce the torsion
forces on your wrists. It doesn't however, change the relative layout
of individual keys to each other too much, i.e. Alt is still left
of the left half of the space bar and right to the right half of the
space bar, and Control is still in the left-down corner (or left of
A if you have configured your box in a similar way as I).

I.e. my impression is MS Natural or similar *do* help, but you still
have much small finger movement if you have high modifier activity.
However, reducing modifier activity is one reason I prefer to use
vi(m).

Kind regards,

Hannah.
