It’s surprising to me that stenography-esque chording hasn’t had a breakthrough moment among programmers. Most programmers love trading hotkey/shortcut recommendations, and software from vim to blender to photoshop show users have a deep interest in using shortcuts to become more efficient.

Hardware restrictions notwithstanding, if my keyboard driver/OS had convenient support for importing standardized maps that let me type `h-down, e-down, release` instead of “hello” I’d gladly (slowly) start using it
