I used orgmode for a while before importing them all into Microsoft OneNote, haven't looked back
I took my OneNote stuff into OrgMode because I think there is a higher risk of OneNote being an unreadable format in the future and/or the service being turned off.

#194Is there something like oh-my-zsh for emacs?
I want to be able to have all of the IDE features that I've come to know and love but for a wider range of languages.
I usually use C, Asm, Python, php, bash, and a few other languages.
don't know where to start.

Arrow keys are the worst ergonomically. You need to be able to stay as close as possible to the home position. When my RSI got really bad I noticed how bad it can be to keep reaching for the arrow keys.
I don't feel uncomfortable when reaching for the arrow keys with my right hand. But I _do_ feel very uncomfortable when I press wrong navigation key in Vim (was it h or j? My fingers don't _feel_ it), and it's really uncomfortable reaching for Ctrl for anything in Emacs, especially Ctrl-B — now _this_ is RSI-prone).

#196I've switched to Emacs after 14 years of Vim (with the required evangelism^^). Initially it was because of Clojure, but then I tried org-mode. Now my GTD Setup (formerly Things.app), Notes for everything (formerly Evernote), Time Tracking (formerly Minco), Pomodoro Technique as well as writing slide decks (I'm a part time lecturer, so I do that a lot) are _all_ within org-mode. And not, because it's hipster, but beca…
For anyone trying not to make the same terrible mistake, you have vim-orgmode: https://github.com/jceb/vim-orgmode

I actually use empty shift for parens, so comfy I almost feel guilty about it...
That sounds like something I'd like to try. Mind sharing the code from your init file that does this - assuming you are doing this in Emacs?
Karabiner is pretty good though, and you can select certain keybindings to only work in emacs.
I've also remapped CONTROL to CAPS LOCK, a more common re-binding to save one's left-hand from endless torture and mutilation!
Karabiner https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/index.html.en On GitHub https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner
It's also pretty simple to extend Karabiner with XML scripts.

To me the most painful position by far is all fingers on home position. If you ask a physical therapist what is the best way to sit on a chair they will say it is to switch position constantly. I'm not buying that it is opposite for a keyboard.

I've been using Github and org-mode to organize a lot of the notes that I collect. It's great to be able to edit notes directly on Github from a laptop, iPhone, or iPad browser. https://github.com/melling/ios_topics https://github.com/melling/ErgonomicNotes https://github.com/melling/ComputerLanguages
As far as I know you can edit any text file from the github web ui. Unless you mean that it should support org-mode features in a browser?

Moving around will help blood flow and will get you to release the static contraction (or switch muscles). That affects your forearm, wrists etc and I don't think has anything to do with your fingers. For me, keeping at the home position limits wrist contortions that I associated with my increased pain.
This is a huge mistake. Some of my friends got RSI this way. You have to move your _arms_ when typing, not only your wrists.
