This is my third time in last 15 years I face issues with RSI. Do you have any tips on how to make the situation better and have less pain?
For the context: I'm on dvorak layout and have jis keyboard with heavy use of thumbs. 8 years ago I switched from evil to vanilla Emacs keybindings.
I also have a wanderer constraint at the moment: I have only one backpack for all my belongings.

For me center body alignment is critical; so when using a mouse I place it in the middle of my split keyboard.
I think only technical solutions will not solve your problem.
Many usage philosophies don't want the hands off the keyboard and instead keep the hands in a fixated position as much as possible. This is no natural behaviour for the body, which is build to move. Try to at least find a middle ground regarding these philosophies.
Feel your body and differentiate between micro movements (i.e. mouse), typing and bigger macro movement involving other work when stress gets to a certain level.
Make a habit of stretching and do weight and or resistance training regularly. Last tip: the book Desk Bound by Kelly Starrett.

I hope you can redice your pain. Good luck!
