I switch between keys frequently using a variety of straight keys, bugs,
cooties and paddles, sometimes during a QSO. It would be a royal pain to
have any kind of permanent mounting. I have a couple of pieces of
leather I got from a Tandy store years ago. Michael's also has nice
pieces about 3x6" for a buck or two. Just lay the leather down on your
desk and lay the key on top of it. It gives the key an elegant look, and
the key stays put for either hand. The method is untested for left or
right foot.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to reconsider technique including backing off
the tension a little, and try to lighten up a bit. It shouldn't take
brute force to hold a key in place.
