What: A chording keyboard.
Why: Englebart's demo made people overlook the chording keyboard, and now we are still mostly stuck with QWERTY, a layout that takes too long to learn and doesn't take much advantage what humans are good at. I'm joking about Englebart, but I do like the line of thinking that computers can be powerful instead of faux friendly.

- 0xdeadbeefbabe 12y agoSteno is a great at taking advantage of something humans do well, it might be on the far end of that spectrum. I'd like to see a keyboard that with 100 hours or less of practice would let you type at 100 WPM.
