Douglas Engelbart is not surprised "The CharaChorder is a new kind of typing peripheral that promises to let people type at superhuman speeds." https://www.vice.com/en/article/3abavv/this-keyboard-lets-people-type-so-fast-its-banned-from-typing-competitions

What I want: a combined chording keyboard and pointer (probably track point style) that connects to my phone via Bluetooth and folds up to fit in my pocket. Relatedly, I think the game-controller form factor is underrated for input devices.

Related idea: I wish I could type into the touch screen and also use gestures for punctuation to avoid having to press shift and whatnot. That would make coding on the keyboard much more tractable.

How about a Twiddler for typing into your VR rig, which is a 486 in a backpack running emacs?

Idea: a way to detect fingers movements/positions so you don't need a keyboard or tactile device. Combined with chord typing for example. So you can tap on your desk, your thighs, etc.
