    Looking for something that replicates the functionality of the characorder. Looks like there's a tool for Windows that leverages Autohotkey (https://github.com/psoukie/zipchord), not sure if anyone is familiar with a mac equivalent? Any help is much appreciated!

    Programmer here, you don't need to switch between modes or even buy a new keyboard, you can use zipchord and set it up to your preferences.

    I've been using ZipChord for a few months now and I have found it to work extremely well as of the 2.0 release (which includes a filter that better distinguishes between character entry and chords). It is now at the point where it "just works."

    I’ve found that ZipChord offers the best trade of between convenience (does not require N-key rollover, can continue to type normally on a QWERTY keyboard for most words) and speed. It lets you type a chord of several characters at once to type a word (e.g. I have “eml” set to type my email address and “bw” to type “between”).

    The recent 2.0 beta release is a game changer, it has gotten really good at distinguishing character entry from chording (e.g. if you type need and hit the e and d key at the same time by accident, it won’t trigger your “ed” chord).

    Only works on windows though.
