I've got one -- gnu emacs. And still, I occasionally have
to look at 'em stuck inside some text (i.e. on a newsgroup)
or in some other black/white medium - paper. And to be lazy
about it, the qx() is in my normal typing active set. That
backtick is way up in the corner -- I miss it a lot, and
have to stop my normal touch-typing to get into hunt-peck
mode. Who says emacs isn't modal -- I've got my home keys
in touch-mode and the other keys in hunt-mode. :-)
