"I recall some cog psych experiments which indicated that the major
problem with foot activated switches for editing was that the nerve
path to the foot was so long that they couldn't function as shift
keys (e.g., meta-key clones) because the synchronization with the
hands would be hard to achieve."

What utterly inexcreble nonsense!  I'd like to introduce a few organ
players to this cog psych experimenter.  Bach is surely spinning is his
grave.
