Has eye-tracking been explored for improved code editing beyond Vim?

Vim does away with the hand-travel delays, but many of these ninja keystroke moves to navigate code are just what your eyes do already (but not all, such as the search function).

Was going to read the first link, but can't be bothered to sign up / sign in to medium.com. Screw that platform.
Recently, I had an idea (which is somewhat stupid and makes me think I am rather lazy) to switch window context between two monitors using my eyes. Mainly because, right now, most of my workflow is from my keyboard, but to switch windows, I have to make either a weird hand twisting shortcut or use the mouse.

I haven't yet found such a solution but I do wonder how hard it would be build such a thing.

Possibly cheaper and more reliable you could attach a pedal to your usb port. As a next step you can start training an ai connected to your cam. Could be a nice project.
