This paper describes a design tool, under development, that identifies efficient low-level action sequences in the user interface, accounting for the relationships between the physical properties of an input device and the requirements of primitive tasks. A device representation and a task taxonomy are presented. These, along with a library of efficiency measures for specific devices, provide information to steer search through the space of action sequences.
