As a previous sufferer of serious RSI, I always warn people against
key-chording that requires any contortion.  C-M-x (with x=anything on
the left half of the keyboard basically) is a bad thing.  In fact, often
anything with M- is bad for me.  I tend to avoid such key chords.  For
instance, for M-x, I have

   (global-set-key '[(control x) (control m)] 'execute-extended-command)

Actually, in practice, I use evil-mode everywhere so I have practically
no key chords!  For M-x, I type ", x"...  I have defined a number of key
org commands into the evil key maps and I'm a happy camper!
