Cryptonomicon by Neil Stephenson had a subplot where a main character used morse code on his keyboard, or some other layered encoding on top of the keyboard, to write software and communicate surreptitiously even while his screen was being recorded.

I think this is doable; and practice makes perfect. I can enter passcode on my apple watch with my nose. It’s the smaller apple watch model. Nose is quite big.
I do this to my watch and phone, most often when cuddling the wife because one of my arms will doubtlessly be unavailable.
