You can see what I started working on yesterday, but it's far from finished: http://dotancohen.com/eng/keyboard_layout.html I tried reaching you on Skype yesterday, Xah, but I think that you blocked me suspecting that I may be a bot. Try to Skype-chat with me at user "dotancohen", I think that we can help each other. > i tried the swapping number row with symbols a few years back. didn't > like it so much because numbers are frequently used as well, > especially when you need to enter a series of numbers. e.g. heavy > math, or dates 2010-02-28.

I wired up a spring-off lightswitch to the Shift key and I operate it with my foot. It's great but it only works when I'm home: it is too ridiculous to take with me. I'm wiring up two more for Ctrl an Alt, too bad it's too cumbersome to have ESC, Enter, and Backspace there as well. -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
