Try Dasher http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/

It's been developed for people only having a "one dimensional" possibility for doing inputs, i.e. only can move an eye or one muscle.

Given a custom dictionary you can write quite fast, though I don't know how practical this would be for programming.



It would probably quite fast for everything other than writing out strings or naming variables/methods etc.

Intellisense in most modern IDEs already does most of the custom dictionary work.


It also has the advantage of using the same interface to enter text character-by-character and to accept predictions; predicted next text becomes easier to enter with a wider area to hit, while unlikely next text can still be entered.


Thanks for posting this one ; I saw it a while ago and some more polished version as well. Seems like a good idea to play around with for touch screen.


What was the more polished version you saw? I've been really interested in Dasher for quite some time but the last time I looked it appeared to have stagnated in terms of progress
