+Speedy Keyboard Entry Holy Grail
+--------------------------------
+
+### Goal
+Design and implement a system of keyboard shortcuts to create Purr Data
+diagrams that is as ergonomic and fast as Finale's "Speedy Entry" is for
+drawing music notation.
+
+### Details
+While Purr Data has some handy features to automate the creation of connection
+among objects in a diagram, efficiently writing a Purr Data program currently
+requires substantial use of the mouse. It would be much faster if the user
+could leverage the keyboard to draw most of the diagram and relegate mouse
+usage to only edge-cases.
+
+### Challenges
+Visual programming is still really in its infancy. You'll want to study
+existing systems like Blender's Node Editor and other prior art.
+
+More challenging is the fact that Purr Data users have essentially resigned
+themselves to the idea that creating patches is repetitive, finicky, and
+quite tiresome. To create a truly ergonomic approach requires collecting
+use-cases from them while at the same time probably adding features which
+solve problems they didn't realize they had.
+
+### Languages
+A choice of implementing most of this in the frontend, which means HTML5
+and vanilla Javascript. Or, implementing it in the backend, which means
+C.
