Heh, I just visualized my laptop keyboard transposed onto an 88 key piano, and then tried to imagine what a typical vim session would sound like on it...

Obviously Emacs sessions would sound better, as Emacs already is set up to use chords...

Funny :)

As long as you hit middle C1 on every chord regardless of whether or not it's a duff chord or not...

At least with vi, you can play one fingered and make an acceptable tune ;)

Sure Douglas Hofstadter could write a book about that...

Many MIDI virtual keyboard apps provide a mapping to the PC keyboard. Install one of those, (e.g. apt-get install vkeybd), plus a softsynth (e.g. ZynAddSubFX). Done.
