Is the word typeable with keys adjacent to each other?

I was surprised to learn Pyth doesn't have a hypotenuse function, so this will likely be beat by a different language. I'll propose a hypotenuse function to Pyth, so this atrocity won't happen in the future.
Explanation
I transform the keyboard into this:
┌───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┬───┐
| Q | W | E | R | T | Y | U | I | O | P |
└─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┐
| A | S | D | F | G | H | J | K | L | * |
└─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴─┬─┴───┴───┘
| Z | X | C | V | B | N | M |
└───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┴───┘
Which I then encode as "qwertyuiopasdfghjkl*zxcvbnm"
. Then I used divmod with modulo 9.5 to figure out the 2D coordinates of every key. Then I compute distances between consecutive keys, and check if the squared distance < 2.

Explanation
The general approach is to produce a big adjacency string containing every pair of adjacent keyboard characters and then check that every pair of adjacent input characters is contained in that string.
I'm quite happy with how I managed to build the adjacency string, which uses very simple and compact logic.
l_1>]z "Read a line of input and create a list of every pair of
adjacent input characters. There will be a trailing element
of just the final character, but that's okay since any single
lowercase letter can be found in the adjacency string.";
["qwertyuiop asdfghjkl zxcvbnm "
"^ Create the in-row forward adjacency string.";
[__B>]z "Create the alternating-row forward adjacency string by
interleaving the in-row string with a substring of itself
starting with the middle row letters:
'q w e r t y u i o p a s d f g h j k l zxcvbnm '
+ ' a s d f g h j k l z x c v b n m '[no interleave here]
-----------------------------------------------------
'qawsedrftgyhujikolp azsxdcfvgbhnjmk l zxcvbnm '";
+s "Append the alternating-row forward adjacency string to the
in-row forward adjacency string.";
_W%+ "Append the reverse of the forward adjacency string (the
backward adjacency string) to the forward adjacency string.";
_]zs "Double every character in the adjacency string so every
character is adjacent to itself.";
f{\#)} "Map each pair of input characters to its 1-indexed location in
the adjacency string (0 if not found).";
:* "Calculate the product of each pair's location in the adjacency
string. This will be nonzero if and only if every pair of
input characters are in fact adjacent.";
"Yes""No"? "If the product is nonzero, produce 'Yes'; otherwise, produce
'No'.";
"Implicitly print the result.";

No`Yes{::~[:*/2>+/"1@(2|@-/\3(|,.<.@%~+-:@|)'qazwsxedcrfvtgbyhnujmikXolX'i.])
Usage:
f=.No`Yes{::~[:*/2>+/"1@(2|@-/\3(|,.<.@%~+-:@|)'qazwsxedcrfvtgbyhnujmikXolX'i.])
f 'redresser'
Yes
f 'qwergy'
No
f 'ppcg'
No
Method:
For every input letter I generate it's 2D coordinate (similar to the image in the question) based on it's index in the string 'qazwsxedcrfvtgbyhnujmikXolX'
. For every pair of letters in the input I check if their coordinates' Manhattan-distance is smaller than 2. If all are, I output Yes
, No
otherwise (by abusing the ` operator).
