I converted a set of pedals for a dictation machine to work with my Kinesis keyboard.

It wasn't as useful as I expected. Having to keep my foot in the same place all the time became quite uncomfortable, and I found that synchronising my foot with my fingers (these pedals were configured as modifiers rather than escape - I mostly use Emacs) was quite difficult.

an intriguing experiment. I am playing the piano and don't expect to have difficulties synchronising the foot and the fingers. But I may be wrong!

I guess with practise it may well have improved. I just didn't find it comfortable enough to persevere.
