If you suffer from hand problems, why didn't you adopt Delete for yourself instead of Ctrl-D long ago? Do you use cursor keys or Ctrl-[FBPN]? If not, consider switching to save your hands from Emacs Pinky. You could just adopt the Steve style and simply use the BackSpace key for all character deletions. This definitely is a reasonable way to use the keyboard, but it requires switching your direction of thinking sometimes. Martin
