I still haven't built a chording keyboard, but
I'd like to know, what are
its advantages/disadvantages over a regular one? I realize the general
differences, what I'm looking for is 'it would be great for typing
because.., it would be awful for data entry because....'
Some Apple brand keyboard allow half a dozen keys to be pressed at the same
time with each up / down recognized. This allows stuff like cmd-shift-power
(reboot) or some long ones I forget using about 5 keys to make some obscure
choice. Cheap keyboards get confused when too many things happen at the
same time.
