I recently moved from Vim to Neovim and originally had a vimscript set up for this motion-based split management. Figured I'd make it available as a Lua plugin in case anyone else finds it useful!

That would be great. I'm also envisioning something embedded in headphones that would move the mouse as you tilted your head

Definitely interested in Ergodox, those things are sweet. If only it were wireless :/

Hmm that might be a configuration issue, my combinations work as expected. I'm in Vim pretty much the entire day so if key combinations didn't work this would be a non-starter

Yeah I alternate between my Apple wireless keyboards and a cooler master mechanical board with cherry browns. I definitely enjoy them both but I find that it's the position of my arms that has the largest effect on wrist fatigue, not the key actions. Ideally I'd like to mount mechanical keyboards on the arm rests instead of Apple keyboards, but I haven't found a wireless one that I like yet...

Yeah I'm definitely not claiming novelty (http://ohbah.com/mods/chairkey/images/cat.jpg). Over the past year I've tried a number of different solutions, and actually alternate among this, a mechanical keyboard and various (optimized) desks (standing and not).
The idea with this is that your arms will be pulled down (as you noted) but into the cushy arm rests, as opposed to your arms supporting themselves (if you are in the proper typing position). And they are tilted so that you end up resting your wrists on the side, as opposed to the bottom of your wrist where your tendons/nerves are most exposed. I don't know much about the science of ergonomics, but my arms do feel more relaxed in this position :).
But yes typing too hard has also been an issue for me in the past, the mechanical keyboard has been a huge help for that. Thanks for the comment!

Is it only physicists in this article because physics has reached a limit in terms of what it can measure without resorting to mathematical or philosophical abstractions? I've seen a lot of these kinds of quotes from physicists but not as many in other fields. Not a criticism, just an observation/question.
