I liked it, myself :).  And I think that it's only fair to give Wirt a chance.
Wirt, for the sake of science, is it possible to get a foreign language
touch-typist (mit keyboard, of course) and do a few timings versus yourself
with your plan (Hey, it should be at least as valid as the Dvorak keyboard
tests run by the good doctor himself :-)?

You could get Feranc to submit a good text and a how fast he (or the closest
typing expert) can type it and then give it a run or two yourself.  As the F11
method is intended as an only-if-you-don't-have-the-correct-keyboard method,
if you can put it out at 80% the speed I'd say you've more than established
it's viability.

          ==========================================================
Attaching significance to invariants is an effort to recognize what, because
of its form or colour or meaning or otherwise, is important or significant
in what is only trivial or ephemeral. A simple instance of failing in this
is provided by the poll-man at Cambridge, who learned perfectly how to
factorize a^2 - b^2 but was floored because the examiner unkindly asked for
the factors of p^2 - q^2 .
