<p><font face="Tomson Talks">I imagine the physical keyboard could
be handy for CLI stuff (as Doug alluded to), but have you (or
other list members) checked out the "Swipe" technique of using a
virtual keyboard?</font></p>

<p><font face="Tomson Talks">I'd heard people rave about Swype, the
app, for ages before I enabled Swipe on GBoard. Took a day or
two to learn to use it, but I can't imagine pressing individual
keys being faster, and there's *never* a typo (although
incorrect words slip through when I let my guard down).</font></p>

<p><font face="Tomson Talks">TL;DR on Swipe:</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Place your finger on (or near) the
first letter of a word, drag it to (or near) subsequent letters,
and it magically figures out which word you probably meant.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Seems more accurate the longer the word
is, aiding literacy instead of impeding it.</font></p>
<p><font face="Tomson Talks">Truly feels magical.</font></p>
