My 2 cents' worth.

In the 80's I learned to use word star with an XT keyboard, with function
keys down the left side and Ctl and Shift or Caps Lock opposite from the AT
keyboard.  I felt at the time, the AT keyboard was a step backwards.

Just this year, I tried to find an XT keyboard, style but wasn't able to
locate one.  I'd swap Caps Lock with Ctrl on my own keyboards, except I have
three or four computers I use routinely, including a laptop, and it would
just be more aggravation.

Any how, I wondered if the XT style keyboard would work well with emacs, and
how or whether this would affect this RSI issue.

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,  but when
you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing---that's what counts.
