The pedal sounds appealing. But the lack of portability of all these hardware will not convince me. I still stick to the unbeatable keyboard hack I described some days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9605791 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9605791 (i.e arrows, return, pgup/pgdn, delete/backspace available at the middle of the keyboard) Another feature that is quite interesting if you code with IntelliJ or Eclipse is the "Quick Access" key. Ctrl+3 on Eclipse (hint: remap this to a more convenient key NOW!) or Ctrl+Shift+A on IntelliJ (same hint applies), and all you commands can be accessed by quick typing. No need to go for Ctrl, Alt or any key combination. With all this, any keyboard is efficient.
