I decided to install emacs so I could look at the org mode everyone is talking about.
My first document pretty much looked like:

@emdeesee @viciousviscosity I seriously considered buying a USB foot pedal keyboard so that I could do Ctrl and Meta with my feet. I was talked out of it by someone who said they'd tried it and that feet don't move fast enough so it actually slows you down.
(Now that I think about it, even beyond muscle fiber types and whatnot, just nerve conduction time is a problem.)
@varx @emdeesee @viciousviscosity All you need to do is swap ctrl and capsLock.
@steelman @emdeesee @viciousviscosity Yeah, I've already put `/usr/bin/setxkbmap -option 'ctrl:nocaps'` in my startup script so that my caps is a ctrl key. It does help!
And a friend of mine has his set up so that holding caps makes it work as a ctrl key, but tapping it makes it work as esc. He hasn't come out to me as such, but I suspect he's bitextual.
