    The weirdest thing was when I ran Dwarf Fortress Adventurer Mode in text-output in Emacs and fiddled with custom key-bindings. (I still think there's potential, esp. for macros :))…

    I think failing to some extent is fine, if the feedback is good and the device returns to a clean state. Even on a phone with buttons, she sometimes fat-fingers the wrong button su…

    OP here: She also can barely hear, so giving voice commands might work, but understanding the machine-generated audio feedback doesn't work. Also, she can't fix problems, like acci…

    I don’t keep them in my head at all :) In fact, my memory is quite bad except for procedual stuff like programming techniques. That’s why I process and store notes so extensively.
