Re: "Is there any good music making software that's fully..."
+1 for Orca (wonderful thing); also maybe check out Tidal Cycles. This are both predominately text based; don't think I'm aware of 100% keeb driven music tools that are mainly graphical, unfortunately...

I've used Tidalcycles with the vim plugin for completely mouseless jamming. If you're looking for something more DAW-like, I'm not aware of any. Reaper's custom actions are pretty powerful and you could probably get a mouseless setting pretty far with them.
renoise is a very well maintained but inexpensive tracker that can be controlled entirely with a keyboard.
Well, there's the incredible SonicPi of course! I'm pretty sure you can do everything in it, without having to use the mouse...
Oops, sorry... Didn't see that someone had already recommanded SonicPi
Is there any good music making software that's fully accessible only using a keyboard? (The typing kind, I mean.) I can't use a mouse, and I can emulate one in a pinch, sure, but I'm curious if there's anything like what I'm describing out there. Preferably with Linux support, but I'll take what I can get. I’ve never learned proper music theory, I just want to noodle around and see if I can make cool sounds :)
