I was thinking of a rocker button operated by the thumb to
move backwards or forwards (with accelerating speed and
abbreviated sounds as appropriate).

I realise it sounds pretty ancient, but I believe that with
practice the morse bit would be transparent and it has the
advantages of being easy to implement, easy to hear through
noise on the street, and allow a very compact (I hope)
design with minimal hardware....
