I find Dasher (http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/dasher/) the easiest and 
fastest input method for my disability (cerebral palsy), the only drawback is 
its non-integration with KDE. If someone could port it to Plasma that would be 
fantastic.

If any work was done I'd suggest splitting the word prediction/completion 
code, in Dasher, into a separate (dbus?) modulle which can be used by the 
whole of KDE where word completion is appropriate.
