Take a look at vkeybd (Virtual Keyboard).* It allows you to map your PC keyboard to notes in synths, sequencers, and MIDI connections.
It takes some getting used to, but it is better than step sequencing with a mouse!

One way to work fast without a keyboard is to use a keyboard
The pc-keyboard and a tracker.
It's mostly used for electronic music but it may be possible to do
other music as well. Trackers usually work with synths and samples.
I think ubuntu studio doesn't include a tracker by default and I don't
really know which ones are good, but I would try soundtracker and
aldrin.
