@emmy@transfem.social @Athena@chaosfem.tw I can recommend taking a look at meow, it works with all the standard keymaps but gives a different way of interacting with them without having to use ctrl
https://github.com/meow-edit/meow/blob/master/TUTORIAL.org#keypad
they keypad mode makes it so doing C-x C-f is just SPC x f, or C-x d would become SPC x SPC d
since it just translates these inputs to the normal key combos it doesn't require rebinding stuff
overall it's the most interesting modal/different editing scheme for emacs I've found, I don't currently use it but I am planning on moving to it

@Clover@akko.wtf @emmy@transfem.social this is interesting and fixes half the problem (chording sucks) but does not fix the other half of the problem (the key choices themselves esp WRT layout are bizarre and painfully laid out)
