does anyone know any keyboards which replace or add syntax as keys?

i know courts use stenograph types. things are made for spoken worss though, and take lots of training

what im thinking is like a custom keyboard just for typing in common code syntax like

func
do
else
if
false
end

etc...

If you get one of those gaming keyboards, you can assign macros to some special keys. So you could have keys that, when pressed, type in text like that :)

If you haven't already done so, I would STRONGLY urge you to learn to touch type. That will pay off so many times over; you'll get fast enough that it's just easier to type the keywords rather than assign random buttons to them.

DO IT!

Note Many IDE like codeblocks have a built in word filler for you that can automatically detect and fill in syntax and variables for you.

that can be a huge time saver when coding....
