    <p>I have not used <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/" rel="noreferrer">ErgoEmacs</a>. But there seem to be some <a href="http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding_good.html" rel="noreferrer">testimonials to its effectiveness</a> and also a <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ergoemacs/wiki/adoption" rel="noreferrer">fine-grained approach to partially adopting it</a>. It seems to received some user-centered testing. It sounds compelling and I want to check it out myself.</p> <p>With that said, as a many year veteran with Emacs with most of my time spent on the Windows version, I believe it is very beneficial to bite the bullet and learn the Emacs' quirky keys (eg. C-a, C-e, C-w) and key prefixes like C-x and C-c. (e.g when in Emacs, Paste like emacsers do). Despite being a very "configurable" editor, Emacs and major add-ons like org-mode have rigid conventions for bindings. Perhaps it is possible to change this behavior and it might even be easy, but this sounds like learning Emacs for the sake of Emacs.</p> <p>Also learning the kill/yanking keys will help you when using bash/zsh shells and other old-school programs that welcome Emacs users by implementing compatible keystrokes. For example, M-y on zsh implements the multi yank (paste) functionality like Emacs.</p> <p>I do have some of my bindings customized. I can't live without undo on C-z. I rebind C-q and C-l as my own prefix maps and put anything I want in there.</p> <p>As far as org-mode itself is concerned, you will be TAB-ing a lot with the outline visibility, and pressing C-c C-c for context sensitive commands. I can't remember <a href="http://orgmode.org/orgcard.pdf" rel="noreferrer">every little C-c based keystroke</a>. So I recommend keeping the Menu bar available.</p>
