Show HN: I automated 1/2 of my typing
https://steno.sammdot.ca/emily-symbols.png
for these, where it says starter, you just press all those keys down, and then on the other side you press the keys listed for what you want. so for example, I can enter like ~104 symbols without moving my hands. the average sybmol layer has like 20. the crossplatform movement dict lets me move around much easier in any text field. (note that you don't really even need to know what the key names you are pressing are as its all a pattern) I currently have six other dictionaries that I use some of the time. you can see more here: https://www.openstenoproject.org/stenodict/.
any cli program would be very easy to add most of the commands to a dictionary if you wanted. for example, a basic git dictionary: https://github.com/didoesdigital/steno-dictionaries/blob/mas...
plover has made using a computer much more fun. its a bit of a hard sell for a lot of people, but I recommend trying out some of the other dictionaries to see what you can do besides type words fast. its seriously really crazy that we are only pressing one key at a time using a keyboard.

[warning:LONG] thoughts on encoding density and ambiguity, pen and stenotype, in a verbatim context
In the spirit of reduction, I look another look at https://github.com/didoesdigital/steno-dictionaries/blob/master/dictionaries/dict.json. In the same way that I asked how many of the 128 left-hand (four fingers only) states are actually used by the dictionary, I can also ask how many of the 4 million available chords are actually used?

Is it possible to have a magic key for same finger skipgrams?
So it's possible to have a magic key for same-finger bigrams (SFBs) as seen in Magic Sturdy.

looking for bespoke solution
Regarding chording, you might find inspiration in the chording schemes in Ikcelaks’ Magic Sturdy, the Ardux project, and precondition's "steno-lite" combos.

Have you tried "Repeat last mod"?
Beyond reversing, Ikcelaks's Magic Sturdy layout is a showcase of what else can be done. It is a layout where the Alternate Repeat key is placed in easy reach on the right index finger. This is the "magic" in Magic Sturdy. This key is configured to remove SFBs and type common n-grams, or potentially do anything else you want: "this key can be fully dynamic based on the last key press and need not be constrained to logically reversing that keypress." I've been trying Magic Sturdy for the past few weeks, and definitely this is a fun idea.

Starting my journey with colemak. This title took me about 2 minutes and cost me a headache.
I've lately been experimenting with variations on Oxey's Sturdy, which is an attractive layout for an unusually strong combination of low redirects and high rolls, yet keeping SFBs and pinky use low. A very interesting mod that I'm using now is Ikcelaks's Magic Sturdy. It incorporates the Alternate Repeat Key as a "magic" key whose function is determined adaptively based on the previous key. This is leveraged to get around the highest SFBs and as a shortcut to type common n-grams.
