Emacs key bindings are very hard on the left pinky. Proper wrist posture is essential to avoid repetitive stress injury. Also, use xmodmap to ensure that the Ctrl key is the key directly to the left of "A" - in other words swap the CapsLock and Ctrl keys - otherwise your pinky is a goner. That said - you'll never get me to change away from emacs key bindings.... :-) -- D.
