You could always use a "normal" (QWERTY) keyboard for steno if you'd like, some people had success with Plover (http://www.openstenoproject.org/ http://www.openstenoproject.org/) for doing this. You can even try it in the browser: http://www.openstenoproject.org/demo/ http://www.openstenoproject.org/demo/
What would be really interesting would be a keyboard specifically for programming. Chords that can be customized to fit your language, would make a lot of sense. Integrate some ideas from things like Paraedit et al, and you could probably get up to crazy speeds in editing and writing really quickly.
- jrockway 4y agoI tried this, but honestly the keyswitches are awfully heavy when you are pressing more than 2 of them at once. I ended up half-building a steno keyboard with lighter switches for this reason... half-building because I started during the pandemic, no microcontrollers I wanted were available, and then I forgot about the project until ... just now. Someday though.
- worthless-trash 4y agoI have seen people refit the Uni steno keyboards with lighter springs, it looks like the easiest way to get started.
- brokenmachine 4y agoErgodox is actually a very usable design for steno.
