Hi,

I have been using Andropen Office on the Boox Max tablet-monitor to write historical notes. I have also used loose-leaf paper to write notes for these notes.

But lately I've been having worsening rsi. I am using an external keyboard for the actual typing on the Boox, but I've had to reach for the touchscreen for footnotes, tables, and editing, among other things. And of course I have to re-type everything important from the loose leaves.

So I think it would help to have a keyboard-only solution to type up plain-text notes, with inline citations, and combine and reformat everything on my computer instead of the Boox.

I tried using Offline Notepad with a smaller tablet, instead of Andropen Office with the Boox. Offline Notepad had better ergonomics, but it makes it so much harder to export individual notes.

I think a software solution using Android should be possible, otherwise an old Alphasmart electronic typewriter might work.

I currently have a lightweight canvas board with the keyboard and tablet strapped to it. I imagine a sturdier board might work better.

**Visual Accessibility**

I get migraines from eye strain, bright lights, flashing, and animation. Including blinking cursors. Andropen Office uses a static cursor which helps hide the blinking one. Offline Notepad in dark mode at least reduces cursor visibility enough. But Txtpad in dark mode seems to increase the blink rate so it doesn't work out for me.

**Other Accessibility**

I want to minimize reliance on the touchscreen, key combos, and two-handed typing. I find mini keyboards easy enough if they have arrow and nav keys, but micro keyboards harder. Maybe practice will help.
