When I started my current job, I thought I was getting a repetitive stress injury from the hundreds of copy pastes I was making daily. Eventually I got used to it, but my hand still hurts occasionally.
I am 100% behind the idea of dedicated buttons!
Look into autohotkey or a mouse with extra buttons you can map to these functions.
Is it "Emacs pinky" possibly? Emacs is an editor with hotkeys for just about everything and a lot are based on CTRL.
I've gotten used to using an Emacs layout and eventually my pinky started to ache too bad so I remapped caps lock to be control and everything is much more comfortable now.
I highly recommend mice with additional programmable keys, speech recognition, and programmable foot pedals. I use all three at work and they're great for splitting the workload across different body parts.
Mouse? The thing that sat on a pad next to a box of floppy disks?
That's the one. We actually still use floppy disks in my industry.
