This is the main reason why I think the mouse sucks as a UI device. The trackpoint is a bearable alternative. I don't mind arcane control key bindings and macro sequences -- it may take a while to learn them, but that just keeps the mind alive and keeps one's hands over the home keys resulting in fewer demands on the users movable parts. Ergonomically, without moving the ESC key binding, Emacs wins over vi. Does anyone know of a Linux program similar to QuickKeys? (I've looked before but never seen one.)
