How about a chording keyboard? Having one strapped to your thigh would be the wearables pioneer approach. The Twiddler3 is a modern one-handed keyboard product. There are also projected laser keyboards with a traditional layout; the projected keyboard takes up a fair amount of space and really needs a flat stable surface (not good for use on public transportation or while queueing) but the hardware is quite small. http://twiddler.tekgear.com http://twiddler.tekgear.com http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1631/ http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/1631/

I'm not a fan of the laser keyboards, but the chording keyboard looks nice. However, the thought of using either of those with Vim already makes my hands hurt...

That really looks like what I want. I'm looking into it, thanks

The Twiddler looks interesting, but I think that I'd need to radically rebind emacs in order to make it usable. Maybe not though.

  Macros can be mapped to specific chords.

The default layout for the twiddler is pretty awful. If anyone wants to try one of these, check out the TabSpace layout. https://github.com/cswetenham/tabspace2.1 https://github.com/cswetenham/tabspace2.1 http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/tabspace-guide.pdf http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/tabspace-guide.pdf It's much better. If anyone's interested, there's a typing tutor for it and I have files to modify it for use with TabSpace (I'd have to find them though) http://wearables.cc.gatech.edu/projects/twidor/download.html http://wearables.cc.gatech.edu/projects/twidor/download.html
