Where's the suggestion to use a "palette of arbitrary tokens" ? I just tried a greek keyboard; ie do $ setxkbmap -option "grp:switch,grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" -layout "us,gr" Thereafter typing abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz after a Shift-Alt gives αβψδεφγηιξκλμνοπ;ρστθωςχυζ One more Shift-Alt and back to roman IOW the extra typing cost for greek letters is negligible over the corresponding roman ones Of course - One would need to define such a keyboard (setxkb) - One would have to find similar technologies for other OSes (Im on debian; even ubuntu/unity grabs too many keys) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
