twiddler
Restless finger spinner
A twiddler is someone who twiddles—fidgets or makes small, idle movements with their fingers or hands.
The word often suggests restless or nervous energy: He's a chronic pen twiddler during meetings.
In computing, a twiddler can refer to a one-handed chording keyboard operated by finger movements.
