I agree. I feel better with something like this... but using two 
fingers.

[ q w e ]  [ r t ]  [ y u ]  [ i o p ]
[ a s d ]  [ f g ]  [ h j ]  [ k l ; ]
[ z x c ]  [ v b ]  [ n m ]  [ , . / ]
           [    space     ]  

This one is quicker than previous, but the number of dictionary 
suggestions has to be studied.

[ q w e r t ]  [ y u i o p ]
[ a s d f g ]  [ h j k l ; ]
[ z x c v b ]  [ n m , . / ]
      [    space     ]

For example, the word "house"... not too bad results.

$ egrep "^[hjkl;][yuiop][yuiop][asdfg][qwert]$" 
/usr/share/dict/american-english 
hoist
house
joist
joust
loose
louse

Perhaps this one would be better for one finger only:

[ q w e ]  [ r t y u ]  [ i o p ]
[ a s d ]  [ f g h j ]  [ k l ; ]
[ z x c ]  [ v b n m ]  [ , . / ]
        [    space     ]  

$ egrep "^[fghj][iop][rtyu][asd][qwe]$" /usr/share/dict/american-english 
gorse
horde
horse
house
