you could make a touchscreen work well enough with speech recognition

06:10

'Voice Control' on iOS/iPadOS is very fast and precise in my experience

06:13

sometimes i use Sidecar to drive a mac with an ipad, with the tablet laying flat on a desk, and touching the screen with digits or a stylus. its pretty good

06:14

and, of course, i gotta promote ryan hileman's talon voice project, it is disgustingly fast

06:19

before talon, he was known for stuff like unicorn engine, competing with samurai in ctfs

My pain is somewhat under better control now. I may be able even to will some of it away.

20:42

A chording keyboard is no panacea.

20:48

generally there aint panaceas.

20:52

That's not an excuse to stop looking.

For voice recognition, I'm planning to try this soon; it looks easy to install: https://github.com/ideasman42/nerd-dictation

21:17

bonechewer

sadly if folks have pain that is not confined to those two fingers, I have to concur that I don't know of a panacea

21:18

I've managed to move my pain to near mine elbow region.

21:18

bonechewer: seems that there're moar sufferers of wholesale wrist rot here than of 'emacs pinky'.

21:18

asciilifeform so far escaped both

21:19

bonechewer

Yeah, past co-workers with overall wrist rot did not have as easy a time as those with emacs pinky in particular

21:20

Unfortunately, the real solution is improving one's whole body.

21:20

I must become more muscular, to wield the keyboard well.

21:21

bonechewer

verismiltitude: I have one data point that agrees with you: a past co-worker with overall wrist rot started playing recreational basketball a lot, and his wrists improved quite a bit

Excuse my lack of knowledge on the issue, but have you tried simply more "ergonomic" layouts? I.e. Staggered matrix?

Also plenty of room for M-x C-x bindings to say, the thumb.
