where's the rest of the alphabet?
It would work right up to the point where I needed to put a note on the
drawing that had the letters I, J, L, P, U, V, Y
other than that it might save a few seconds a day.
Wonder how long it would take to get used to it, and fun it would be when I
went back to a "normal" keyboard

You could switch to a souped up keyboard with programmable keys like
the Logitech G15. It has 18 additional programmable keys for macros
or whatever. There are others:

DAGS for 'autocad keyboard' or 'cad keyboard' and you'll get lots of
choices.
