Heh.  Considering that I want it mainly for use on a phone or 
PDA, I don't think key bindings are going to be particularly 
important.  But it would be nice to make it desktop-friendly too.  
:)

And...  I'm lazy enough that I'd probably want to use Python and 
GTK, which limits the platform choices.  OpenMoko would work, but 
Android probably wouldn't.

Most likely, I'll just stick with VO.  It's simple, flexible, and 
works well enough most of the time.

Oh, and as an added bonus, I've got a spiffy recent addition to 
my VO stuffs...  I made zsh display a summary of my todo list 
every time I change directories.  In ~/.zshrc, I have:

  function chpwd ()
  {
      [ -r todo.otl ] && ( todo.sh todo.otl | head -10 | cut -c -78 )
  }

This works with ~/bin/todo.sh:

  #!/bin/sh

  TODO=$1

  grep '\[_\]' $TODO \
    | perl -ne '
      s/\t/  /g;
      s/\[_\]/-/;
      s/- (\d\d+)%/+ \1%/;
      tr/a-z/A-Z/ if /<--/;
      s/<--/<----------------------------------------------------------------/;
      print if (/<--/) or (not /^    /);
      '

:)
