Vim keybindings help a lot too and I have almost everything vimified.

Having a large (40”+ for 4k) monitor prevents you from leaning in to read
small text or “hunching over” the keyboard. (poor elbow and back alignment)
The same can be done by using a larger font or lower resolution at the cost of
more keystrokes for navigating long files or between apps.

Taking breaks and changing positions frequently helps of corse. (Use a sit
stand desk, try kneeling on a soft mat occasionally if your desk goes low
enough.)

Drink a lot of water. Hydration helps almost any bodily issue to some extent
and I find that my productivity is significantly impacted by dehydration and
greatly increased when I drink a lot. Soda is fine but offset the dehydration
from it with extra water. This has the added benefit of forcing you to take
breaks.

Something that has made my wrists a little more comfortable during long typing
sessions is putting down the little feet on the back of my keyboard. Even
though this "feature" was designed to improve ergonomics, and many people I
know use it, it can make your wrists uncomfortable and is not usually smart to
use.

Afaik these feet were designed to help people with less typing skill to easier
read the keys. For ergonomics the keyboard should actually be tilted backwards
