-====== Twidlette ======
+====== Twidlette chordset ======
+The idea for the Twidlette is to use the thumb only for modifiers like shift, alt, esc, ctrl, number-pad  and use the fingers for everything else.
+Here is the proposal
+pinky gets 1 key, each other finger gets 2 keys which can be pressed either seporatly or together.  This gives (2x3x3x3)-1 unique chords or 54 unique chords on the fingers.  The finger buttons would look something like this:\\
+``♦````♦``\\
+``♦````♦``\\
+``♦````♦``\\
+ ...``♦``\\
-The idea for this chorder came from an email discussion I had with Mikkel.
-The layout is 2 thumb buttons, 2 buttons for the index finger, one button for each remaining finger.
-The alphabet is all on the 5 buttons under the fingers (like with the twiddler).  The 2 thumb buttons provide 3 chords for modifiers, namely, shift, alt, ctrl.  They are also used with the mnumonic symbols and punctuation chords.  But, the alphabet is only on the fingers and capitol letters are a single chord (unlike the [[modified_nasa]] chordset).
-I am not sure if the spiffchorder can do this, but we will see...
