Ah, gotcha - I don't think I could manage this style at all on a split keyboard like that, which is too bad because otherwise I'd absolutely want one. It's frustrating how ill-equipped our bodies are for this line of work, or at least our current peripherals. I try to force breaks at least every two hours but a) often fail to and b) that's probably still not even enough.
I have absolutely noticed a difference already since trying the new method, after just a few months. I'm not constantly curling and uncurling it, more just levering up and down in place. Biggest annoyance is imprecision - it's pretty easy to also catch the shift key with your hand.
Sadly it does seem like Emacs bindings are not the greatest choice long-term. I only discovered Emacs a year or so ago, and I'm planning to keep, you know, typing code for probably decades. The fact that I've already had to make a change for physical reasons doesn't bode well.
