I only need one finger to tap on the key with!

Dee and all the FISTS club members will come on here and tell you that
you don't tap on the key with one finger.

Actually I would have said you don't even need one. In an emergency, just
about any part of the anatomy could be used. This is independent of what
the normal operating practice might be.

This was first proposed in a book that I saw at a hamfest a while back
- it was titled "Handsfree Telegraphy - The Dick Bash Method"


Besides that one could easily build a key designed around the principle of
being tapped if desired.
