I’ve found that ZipChord offers the best trade of between convenience (does not require N-key rollover, can continue to type normally on a QWERTY keyboard for most words) and speed. It lets you type a chord of several characters at once to type a word (e.g. I have “eml” set to type my email address and “bw” to type “between”).
The recent 2.0 beta release is a game changer, it has gotten really good at distinguishing character entry from chording (e.g. if you type need and hit the e and d key at the same time by accident, it won’t trigger your “ed” chord).
Only works on windows though.

- dr_kiszonka 4y agoI will try this! Is your dictionary available anywhere? Do you use ZipChord for writing code too?
- elil17 4y agoI don't use ZipChord for writing code specifically - I have found existing code specific completion tools to be better suited for most of what I code. I do use it for writing code comments. Here's a pastebin of my dictionary: https://pastebin.com/Gafg5QN7 https://pastebin.com/Gafg5QN7 Of course I've removed a bunch of cords (people's names and email addresses, mostly, as well as some confidential stuff from my work). It's also specific to my keyboard (because keyboards without NKRO have different patterns of keys that can be pressed at the same time).
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoThis is great! Thanks for sharing! (My keyboard has NKRO.)
