One thing that you can do is to ensure that you have a keyboard that has modifier keys on both sides. You should pound a new habit into your cerebellum: use two hands. For example, c-c c-o should look like this: r hand presses ctrl l hand presses c let go l hand presses ctrl r hand presses o let go This is obviously inefficient, but it is the correct thing. Ideally, the most important c-c and c-x operations would be on the lhs. That way, you can hold down ctrl and press the two keys. Many (maybe even most) will find this idea strange. But I urge all of you to try it for a few months.
