Ron : 

It sounds like what you need is a Palm Paddle and the integrated Code Cube Keyer.
The Code Cube is a custom version of the Jackson Harbour PK4 keyer and it does have
a "Bug" mode. The combination of the two would give you a very compact "eBug" that
should solve your problem.

The code cube manual is here :

If you check out Menu #4 you'll see that there is a "Bug Mode". 
I have one and I have tried Bug mode and it works fine.
