Vim Clutch – A hardware pedal for improved text editing (2012)

I used a Kinesis when I worked at Microsoft, which I credit for heading off impending RSI. It took about a week to get back up to speed, and then it was great. I had a pedal connected to the shift key because of all the LONG_CAPITALIZED_C_CONSTANTS in Microsoft code.

I type enough capitalized constants (and plain-text abbreviations) nowadays that I actually un-remapped Caps Lock and put it back in its default spot.

I imagine some frustrated IBM programmers in the late 80s saying "fuck it, I'm just putting caps lock where Control used to be."

I've got one of the thumb keys on the left of the Kinesis mapped to shift; never quite got used to it though and I'm always mistyping when holding it.
