Keyboard
Continuing my experiments with keyboards, I currently prefer using 27 keys to provide the 48 characters needed. These are the home keys of a standard 101-key keyboard, allowing the other 74 to be ignored.
The assignment of the keys changes, with the current one displayed on-screen at lower right. It's pleasantly easy to type while referring to the display. These keys minimize finger travel, as close to Dvorak's arrangement as 27 keys permit.
They are used as function keys (menu selects) for applications. The only text that needs to be typed is when editing source code.
Other arrangements are possible. Including, gulp, standard qwerty.
Yep. legend has it he had a chair with who triplets of keys taped to the armrests to control the cursor and place the gates by 'chording', using a system he called 'Okad'.
one hand would control the cursor, the other the placement of the gates or wires.
Would be nice if someone could corroborate or disprove that, I always thought it completely matched the rest of the stories about Chuck Moore so I give it a good chance of being true.
