[sw-l] Typing SW rather than using a mouse

[Charles Butler]

Thinking out loud.

It would be kind of strange if at the end of the day you had something like,

"jku,m fm,tm" or a syllabary in Roman letters and punctuation for the keystrokes of sign language.

We are needing to try all sorts of layouts and input methodologies to ensure SW independence of method.

I think typing from the keyboard will be very
difficult. Typing ##-##-###-##-##-##,##,## a few
times for each sign is just too many keystrokes. I
have tried to make it more compact, but don't think
I've been very successful.

I wrote

for Microsoft Explorer. Just type into the green box
like this:

aa SPACE g2 SPACE 2g SPACE k123456 ENTER

:-) glosses are lots easier, but the above is a third
or better more compact than typing
##-##-###-##-##-##,##,## directly.

Maybe typing using a Chinese like method would be
better.

Just thinking out loud...
