Emacs without a keyboard? (alien.top)

Probably better for r/showerthoughts - but is anyone using emacs without a keyboard?

I assume the core audience of emacs is devs and sysadmins (and perhaps academics with org and org roam)

But surely somebody somewhere is doing those jobs / using assistive tech (dragon etc?) to interface with emacs?

I kind of do. I use exwm and guix on my Steam Deck, so I mapped the controls to execute certain key sequences, so that I can launch games, mount & unmount sdcards, switch back and forth from fullscreen, change fsr quality, etc. But I don't use emacs in a standard way in this case, so I'm effectively not using emacs for doing anything text related.
