Pretty slick! Though half the keys (and many keystrokes) could be removed if Morse code were used.



I'd keep the second key and use it as a backspace.

(scratch that.. some googling shows there is a backspace in morse - it's "........")


Is Morse Code nore efficient than ASCII?


Yes, if you consider there are codes for commen phrases i.e 73 for "best regards".

If I'm understanding this project correctly, it requires that you type the binary code for the ASCII character. E.g. for A, you need at least 8 keypresses for 01000001. In Morse, you would need two: .- (short-long).
