Had to laugh, one of my pet hates is underscores (the other is all caps) and I have overall design rights on a new development to be done by a bunch of Java developers. First draft of the database structure was all caps and underscores, right out of the 1980s.
The developer is an ex SAP guy. It took 3 tries before he got the idea that I was not going to allow that sort of crap in the database.

I had that 20 years ago and it even worked fairly well. Still, I felt a little silly reciting source code loudly. Can you think what this would be like in an open office space?

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Like this:
Go to line 258, third word. Change 'camelCase' to 'pineNuts'. Do it everywhere in this procedure but not everywhere on this page . . .
and other capitalization/symbol names/etc. fun!
At least you can have a fine discussion with your monitor whilst it snickers back and keeps trying to explain that voice recognition hardly works for a telephone or word prostitution.
And, of course, coordinating that foot-pedal, like a dictation clerk, so that the damn thing doesn't type every word elephanting word I say

For gaming, I use a program called Voice Attack. It has a pretty good scripting capability, so you can combine multiple key presses into one voice command. It can press any key, as well as mouse buttons and joystick controls.
I've thought about voicing some of the common things I use, but haven't taken the time.

My screen is big and far out of range for anyone to touch it...
I use keyboard for the 90% of my input and mouse only for 10% - and old habit me think, so there is no much room for touch, not to mention the huge effort need to raise my hand to do things I can without...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

You are too efficient. You need to be less so because it makes the rest of us look bad. Think of how much more I could code if I could remember all the keyboard commands, but I keep forgetting, or never knew in the first place. Maybe we should take away your keyboard and you will have to use the onscreen keyboard. That should slow you down a lot.

on the test machine I do - our software has touchscreens as the only interface since 1996.
I hate fingerprints on screen and I'm not very precise with both touch and mouse, keyboard is my main navigation system.

... I have ever had was trying to teach a child some coding and pointing out features on the screen and the finger gets too close and activates the touch feature.
When it is a 3d hologram and I can reach in and grab an object then I'll consider touch! I like minority report.

...that doesn't stop me trying to use touch from time to time... 
I blame the tablet.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

All those lovely sheep prancing about the meadow screen - no you are not allowed to touch OG!
I hate to think what your tablet looks like.

Do you need to touch yourself when you want a recursive function?
Is it case sensitive, or can you just touch yourself anywhere?

If there is anything that can really distract me, then it's a dirty monitor. And then there are the encrusted artifacts of other people. Cleaning is not an option anymore, decontamination may work sometimes and the rest of the devices must be burned in the name of public health.
