snsabot: Logged on 2021-03-13 02:19:14 adlai: fwiw, the more I mull over the parallels between the various strengths and shortcomings of the different input methods, and those of prototypes that have had less commercialised progeny, the less I find the name "Engelbart's Violin" appropriate.

snsabot: Logged on 2021-03-13 02:33:43 adlai: another input method you may have not encountered yet is 'dasher', although I believe that only exists as a smartphone keyboard that takes an interactive approach to autocorrect, instead of "let the user mash the keys, and then we guess".

snsabot: Logged on 2021-03-13 03:14:39 adlai: whenever I dabble in hieroglyphics, I set myself the arguably-unreasonable goal of the various glyphs being maximally unambiguous

snsabot: Logged on 2021-03-13 04:01:27 verisimilitude: I agree with asciilifeform; individual key adjustment would be nice.
