Interesting, but you might get better mileage out of a teensy arduino (http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/) a tin, and some proper foot switches.

Haha :D I have actually had the same exact idea. I'm a very keyboard oriented user and I have a wide variety of gaming controllers (including 2 sets of different kinds of pedals for aviation and racing). So I've been thinking about doing a foot operated PC controller, but someone beat me to it.

I'm pretty happy by having my caps lock key mapped to escape, though.

Some ideas are smart. Others are GENIUS.

This is the latter.

Wow, that's some really badass text editing skills — with a pedal. I imagine one with a piano keyboard with Vim macros attached to each key. That would be dynamic!

Reminds me of the shoot/cover pedal on Time Crisis arcade machines.

I don't understand this. I can't see how this is faster than simply hitting `i`.
