Over dinner last night, we talked a little about RSI. One thing that came up was that using the shift key and another key at the same time with the same hand (e.g. left-shift + q) puts your hand in a funny shape, and often makes RSI worse. People taught to touch-type don't do this, but others do.
It occurred to me that you could get some bit of X to only make opposite-shift work (at least for letters, sorting the punctuation characters out might be a bit harder), and this would fairly rapidly educate typists to DTRT. How hard would it be?
