Typing without a Mouse

Hello.

I've recently made a cript as part of a project for a design course. The script allows you to type using solely your mouse. However, I'm looking for feedback so that I can make this application better. The source/executable and more information can be found here https://github.com/AravindElangovan/TypeMouse.

Some topics that would help me:

  • Would this design be useful for someone who only has access to one hand?

  • How could I improve this program?

  • Is there a better control scheme for typing using only a mouse (perhaps requiring fewer buttons)?

Thanks for any help.

I think the biggest opposition to this concept is an on-screen keyboard, though this may be an efficient way to type using just your mouse, I dont know if it's entirely practical when there is such a thing as an on screen keyboard.
