Not my thing - but looks like a nice project :-) I noticed your profile mentioned being an 'aspiring developer' - it's really cool to see people jump in and code tools/stuff that is useful to them :-)

I'm not a cpp coder, so I can't speak to the code - but I didn't notice any tests (sorry if I missed them). That might be a good addition ?

edit: I noticed you mention psychology in your profile. Might be interesting to hear your thoughts on UI design/interaction ?

Keyboardminder is part of my vision of a world where we have a better relationship with our devices. Having a device you can use to get your necessary work done as efficiently as possible is an important part of that.

With UI design/interaction my thoughts are while both are equally important, it is better to separate practical use with just for fun. Keyboardminder is meant to fill the practical side more.

Nice :-) It looks like a cool project ... My personal 'wish' would be a split keyboard with an 'electric eraser' setup as a thumb stick. Trackball/thumball would be second best. I agree having to reach for the mouse really slows stuff down...
