[T] Add Finger5? What about Foot1?

A project log for Tetent TestCut [gd0139]

Both #Tetent [gd0090] and #Tetent Timespy [gd0136] are too small to fit a #Tetrinsic [gd0041] for Finger5's, nor do I think it would be comfortable or noticably increase speed (having to think 8 characters in advance might be a tad much), but this is the TestCut so I might as well put that theory to the test. For those with 6 fingers, it may be safe to upgrade now.

Another idea that may be more applicable to me would be (motorised) ankle wheels. Here, the mapping of Finger1 (the thumb) will move to Foot1 and the thumb will have the same map as the other fingers. #TEOSS [gd0037] already needs this stuff anyway so I can just add "Tetent Integration" to its specification, but I feel that a simplified "ankle Tetrinsic" would only cost slightly more than a normal Tetrinsic. I'm still not sure about having to think of 8 characters in advanced along with a slight leyout alteration, but its a potential way to get more of my body moving while sitting at a PC and faster 1 handed typing when using the Timespy with TEOSS. There'd be a max force threshold where input would be ignored, implying that the user is standing up.
