Grab a book or five on ergonomics, UI design and Human/Computer
Interaction. Read some of the papers that you can find on what went
into say, apple's (earlier) UI design. It's all rather interesting and
enlightening. :)
As other have said, minimising keypresses/mouse movements isn't 1:1
correlated with "better ergonomic design."
