My technique was: Learn one chord at a time, and learn it well before moving on. That way I had a solid reference for the new material I was learning. Since, of course, one can't keyboard "live" right from the start with this technique, I spent all of my time prcticing chording while reading novels -- and only chording the chords I already solidly knew.

I had the same exact desire! Here's the deal: The Twiddler2 is able to be programmed to produce custom make/break sequences. If this will do it, it is probably the only way. I don't know much about make/break sequences, though, and I also haven't gotten around to figuring out the codes for the keypad. I think the best solution, though, would be for Handykey to include keypad keys in its list of predefined keys (or whatever they're called -- I don't have my manual handy), like return, backspace, tab, etc., so you could just enter them into a normal chord program sequence. For now, if you could figure out the correct make/break sequences for the keypad keys, and posted it to the list, I'm sure all of the rest of the T2 owners would very much appreciate it. There's a Linux command for displaying keycodes so you can find out what the keypad keys are transmitting. (I.e. you run the program and start hitting keys to see what they output to the keyboard port.) Does anyone know what it is? -Chris -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org please, Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/false domain
