Article: [senit] keyboards

Thanks Simon.  I'm afraid I can't email you off list as your address
wasn't on my copy.  If you could find the original reference, that'd be
lovely as Google doesn't seem to be able to find it.  If you could also
explain the second bit...?

There was a bit of software that I got a demo of a while back called
'Keyguard' - this was a software keyguard - i.e. it got rid of
next-door-key
presses... This might be a solution (combined with keyboard
accessibility
tweaks?)...

I'm not sure where i got it though... sorry... I can probably dig out
the
email/CD if needed... You also might be able to do the same thing with
AutoHotKey/AutoIt if so inclined! 


Cheers.
 
Simon

Hello

Can anyone suggest a solution for a pupil who finds the keyboard easier
to
use than the joystick but keeps catching his fingers on the keyguard?
He can't use the keyboard without the guard as he presses every key on
the
way to the one he wants.  I've tried him with an on-screen keyboard but
that's even slower than his typing.  Does anyone make a rubber keyguard?
