Now there's a good idea! Let's have two "hand-heel" bars, below
(i.e., in front of) the space bar, one for CONTROL and one for
META.  That would be great.  And if you didn't like hand-heel
bars, you should be able to plug in cables attached to foot
pedals, or a knee lever, as on a sewing machine.  Incidentally,
the knee lever is an excellent device, and very good for analog
input.  With a suitable stepping device, and agreement as to
where the values belong on a linear scale, you could input
commands for underlining, boldface and other display features.
