I never could figure out back in the day how the 5-key portacomp worked. Did somebody work out or publish how that UI worked?

Could be like the existing 5-socket keyboards, where the key is slid, not pushed, giving 4, 6, or 8 values per button.
Or, it could be a menu navigation...
4 arrows and an enter.

Hmm, I could see chorded keyboards being something very desirable for suits as an override/backup to voice command. But I would expect it more like switching on finger movement sensors in the glove, or tapping on a suit-mounted touchscreen.
Google glass.
Foldable film-like keyboard perhaps? Doesn't have to be physically connected to the Portacomp, just unfold it on any flat/curved surface and type away.
