At the moment, when a stealth / hacker character access a computer terminal, they pop out of stealth. Maybe this is because they are a one-finger-typist who needs to see their hands to type. Maybe it's because although there are Psi Mentors that can do neural imprinting, there's no neural interfacing to regular computer terminals. Maybe it's because all computer terminals require the user to hold still for a retinal scan before getting even basic access. Maybe it's just that computer use is mechanically implemented as dialogue and dialogue deactivates stealth.
Be that as it may, it would be cool to introduce a feat that allows the player to interact with a computer terminal while maintaining stealth.
Edit: changed threat topic only.

Yes please, we don't have enough useless feats in the game already.

This is so situational, that no one would take such feat.

All feats are situational and useless for some builds and useful for others. This is no different.
A variation would be to say while using a computer terminal, your Stealth skill operates at a -10 penalty or something rather than dropping you out of Stealth entirely. How can you hack an electronic lock within stealth but can't use a computer? I'm just suggesting dev/s (re)consider this particular intersection of Stealth mode with non-verbal dialogue. And a feat is just one way of handling that but by no means the only way.

But this is super situational, that probably only you would use it. 8)
