Chord keyboards are not used much : (if at all) for *ordinary* word processing for much the same reasons : why the _supposedly_superior_ Dvorak keyboard layout hasn't superseded : the QWERTY one - the latter does the job just fine. My point is: it is generally (?) agreed that dvorak is 20-70 % faster than qwerty althoug most people use qwerty. in contrast, as far as ordinary text processing is concerned, it seems that I cannot find any EXPERIMENTAL data showing that a chord kbd is much faster than a traditional (sequential) kbd. k kim
