This would have been great when I was learning Lisp in school! I tried emacs but due to joint issues the keybinds were painful to use, so I gave up and did the course in vim+SBCL's REPL instead.

It is fairly common for emacs users to bind Ctrl or Meta to caps lock for improved ergonomics. There's also a bunch of RSI sufferers that are using foot pedals, which actually makes a lot of sense.

I personally switched to emacs for more than just Lisp when I started developing early signs for RSI. Switching to a purely KB driven interface has saved my wrists.
