No, I do not realise that coding *implies* hammering on a keyboard.  Coding 
the lazy modern way can be done via a keyboard.  But coding itself most 
emphatically does not imply it.  

I knew I was old but ...  I cannot even find a reference to coding without a 
keyboard.  I had difficulty finding a reference to anything more basic and 
nearer to the CPU than Assembler.

For the record, I (and surely at least one or two others on this list??!) 
remember coding with pin boards, sheets with squares, punched cards ... 
Taking a keyboard anywhere near a computer was a positively late addition to 
the peripherals available. ;-)  It is certainly possible to code without one.

Come to that, before the Ark we wrote without one too. ;-)
