Add ergonomics enforcers layer

[JAremko]

For those who lack the self control(like me)
Or it can display how many times arrow keys were used(might be in the space-line)

Are you talking about something like following config?

(global-unset-key (kbd "<left>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<right>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<up>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<down>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<C-left>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<C-right>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<C-up>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<C-down>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<M-left>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<M-right>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<M-up>"))
(global-unset-key (kbd "<M-down>"))

There is also no-easy-keys minor mode, which you might be interested in.

@d12frosted Yeah. I'm thinking. It might be helpful to have something like this for the Evil keys "out of the box" with a single configuration so it will be more beginner friendly. It should be helpful for some Spacemacsers(Spacemacsians). Especially for the people who has Emacs background and want to learn the Vi style navigation.

I remember using guru-mode when starting with Emacs.

@JAremko Before I switched to Spacemacs I used arrows to select windows. This was actually pretty useful. But now since I have avy-window, it's much easier.

(global-set-key (kbd "<left>") 'windmove-left)
(global-set-key (kbd "<right>") 'windmove-right)
(global-set-key (kbd "<up>") 'windmove-up)
(global-set-key (kbd "<down>") 'windmove-down)

@nixmaniack guru-mode looks a little bit more interesting as it can be configured to warn user about wrong usage.

But to be honest, at this point I don't see any point in adding this package to Spacemacs.

I'd say there is a point in adding some well written ergonomics enforcer(s) to Spacemacs
Would be nice to generalize this and automate (instead of hand-coding all the restrictions)
Arguably such code itself would be out of scope for Spacemacs (rather being a good package), but it's quite close, IMO.

@a13ph I think it's better to make it a part of Spacemacs. This way it will be straightforward to include some Spacemacs related ergonomics. For example using ace-window instead of spamming other-window

Also this tool can display Spacemacs keybindings when their Emacs counterparts are used - if Vim style was chosen by the user.
