Tablet's with "swype" it type text entering could be used as a keyboard device for eclipse. Two finger's on the tablet could be interpreted as mouse and that would lend to easy left mouse click/right mouse click by leaving other finger on table while clicking with other finger.

Also tablets microphone/language recogntion could be used atleast for easy thing like shift,alt,control.

Also it is possible to use tablets camera and hand gestures but that would be more complex and maybe not very popular.

On the tablet there could be fitted list of local variables to choose from etc. There are a lot of possibilities.

This type of entry could be good for people with rsi because you could swype with either hand.

I've been promoting this idea to few places already but don't know if anyone has made any progress with it.

Reproducible: Always
