Do they make some kind of small USB keyboard that one
could carry with laptop for those times you want a
separate external keyboard to use?

There is an extremely clever one available. It is a small metal box about
3-4 inches long and an inch or so square. When running it projects an image
of a full size keyboard on the desk in front of it. It then detects which
'key' you press. I've only seen them in Europe (as in not in the UK), but a
Google should turn them up.

There are also flexible roll up keyboards.

enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a
crime that it becomes impossible to live without breaking laws."
