I don't get it... He's trying to solve the problem of typing text in a touch device... with an XBox controller? why not better carry a small keyboard?

The program looks awesome, but i believe it would be more productive to have this features on a regular IDE where you can actually use the keyboard... All the movement between nodes looks terrific.

But anyway...

He has RSI from using the keyboard, so making the editor work with a controller first makes sense because he is the only person using his program at the moment.

He addresses that in the Why at the bottom.

He developed carpal tunnel or some other wrist aliment, and can't type for any real amount of time on a keyboard, apparently using an xbox controller is easier but really he wants to move to using the kinect.
