I have long yearned for a set of foot pedals, probably purloined from
a Dictograph.  One each for Control, Meta, and Shift.  With heel-toe
braking techniques, two feet could probably manage several more than
just three modifier bits.  And with one of those forehead-mounted
pointer controls, my hands would really never need to leave home row.

Hmm, I wonder if the rheostat in a a sewing machine speed control
pedal could serve as a dial input?
