Hm. Well, the thing is that the steno layout already requires a certain amount of finger curl. For example, the middle finger on the right hand can press just the "P" key or just the "B" key, by only striking each key with the tip of the finger. When it flattens out, though, and presses both P and B together, you get the final "N" sound. So you've got to have three options for that column of keys: curled top, curled bottom, and flattened-out top-plus-bottom. One might possibly adapt an extreme curl option, though, which isn't used in traditional steno -- flat against the top of the palm, for instance, to signify pressing both keys. I'm still not quite clear on the best implementation, whether it should be twiddling the air or the palm or another surface like the forearm or trouser leg. How is your glove currently set up to trigger switches?
