#12I don't understand this. I can't see how this is faster than simply hitting `i`.
I dunno, but a foot pedal to hit C-[ would be nice.

#13We discussed that yesterday at work, but decided that it will be more useful in Emacs than in Vim. :)

#14Programmable foot pedals have been around for a while now [1]. Some are surprisingly expensive, though, and this option looks cheaper.

#15Very nice. But why put something like this on GitHub?!!
If you're a coder you probably already have a GitHub account maybe not a web host.

Because you don't have to hit escape or jj to exit out. You just let your foot off the pedal. No chance of accidentally being in edit mode or not.

#18I thought about that already and realized a keyboard pedal is not enough. The whole concept of nowadays Human-Computer interface must be rethought. https://mail.google.com/mail/help/promos/tap/index.html

I doubt that foot / finger coordination is good enough to get the timing right without losing some keystrokes.
Re: Vim clutch
#20The escape bit would work great, but there are so many other ways to enter insert mode apart from i that I'm not sure how useful it would wind up being.
