     Fascinating thing I learned about yesterday was the variety of "chorded" keyboards that were under consideration for normal keyboard usage when places like libraries were automating.

     I'd encountered them for steno, telegraph, and Braille uses, but not in more mainstream computing.

     Basically, you press key combos to get letters.
