Your pinky stress is actually a recognized phenomenon... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#Emacs_Pinky discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2610467

I'm a heavy Emacs user. I tried to plan ahead and remap Ctrl -> Caps Lock, but it didn't help. After all, I still used my pinky to hit Caps Lock. Thankfully, hearty remapping of defaults + Kinesis did help!

I use a foot pedal mapped to Ctrl on my Kinesis (in addition to remapping Caps Lock to Ctrl). For casual use, I use the Caps Lock key; for longer typing sessions, I "bother with" the foot pedal.

My biggest problem now is that I look like an absolute clown when typing on a conference room PC (with a standard keyboard)...

Nice game. I remember playing it some time ago, and quitting because of boredom once getting in the high (30+) levels. I think it was one of the first "little" games using html5 instead of flash. I see that they've introduced a new "expert" mode, which is indeed a lot harder. I've reached level 10 so far, but I'll give it a serious try sometime. The biggest problem for me is the language. I type a lot of English, but…

I still see no challenge in expert mode. Please make a harder mode :)
