The mouse is a little out of the way. Seems like have you to move to a workflow that you are almost entirely on keyboard? I would love that but just find that there is so much forced mouse interaction which I would like to avoid?
If you just need to click a button or two now and then, keynav is great. It’s one of the programs I have in a script to fetch automatically on fresh GNU installs, though it’s no replacement for vi bindings everywhere one can get them (vis, dwm, tmux, Pentadactyl, etc.)
I do something similar. Typing isn't bad but it's sometimes tough to get your fingers at the right starting positions for touch typing. I put a few tactile stickers on the keyboard to help. Otherwise it is very comfortable.
In my experience, I've found a MS Surface and a gooseneck ipad holder is a lightweight ideal laydown desk. I clamp the gooseneck a few feet above me in bed and I can lay perfectly flat and have access to a full PC.
It also can be disassembled and stored in moments.
Could you please point me to your choice of stickers, or mention the brand? I desperately need some bumps on the current keyboard and thought of messing with glue and plastic, but it hasn't occurred to me that someone already made a finished solution for that. From searching, I now see a bunch of related stuff, like braille and such, so it would help to narrow it down to more suitable products.
Yeah, but for for farther away keys, like / or \ for example, you can loose the registration of your fingertips and mistype.
Laying down and typing is at a weird angle so you can't quickly check that your fingers are aligned right. It is just easier to have a tactile anchor at the far end of the keyboard, particularly when typing fast.
