[Elecraft] KX3 single lever key

Is anyone contemplating a single lever key for the KXPD3 mounting?

Perhaps a firmware option with dots on one side and dashes on the other 
side with no iambic action would work.  The logic would ignore opposite 
side closure until after release of the first closure.  I believe this 
would function almost exactly the same as my single lever Vibroplex 
plugged in to the key jack.

I am an old style extra with poor keying dexterity.  I just about 
completely lost my sending capability trying for several years to learn 
to use Iambic keying.  I am slowly regaining sending capability with the 
single lever key.  This works better for me than the J38.

What do others who feel iambic challenged think?  I have always been 
able to receive much better than send even with much practice.
