one handed typing

[lauralh]

Can't afford a half-keyboard? No fear!

Step 1: Install autoHotKey.
Step 2: Create a text document called "Onehandedtyping.ahk" and put this script in it.
Step 3: Run the script; hold down the space bar to get the keys you want. Slow going at first.

Explain to me how the "half keyboard" is $99.95, and the "half-keyboard x 2" is $49.95.

It's cheaper to make a keyboard that already exists?

How do you access the keys that aren't immediately visible on the Half-Keyboard (like "o," "j," "h," and "n" - the most IMPORTANT LETTERS IN ENGLISH).

you hold down the space bar and hit "w" or "f" etc.

Multitasking? Yes I think this was designed by a pornoholic or a chatroom-cyber-perve.

I'm finding it helpful for my shoulder injury, thanks a lot.

And here I was innocently thinking, "cool, now I don't have to take my hand off my mouse."

there's also dvorak one-handed layouts for both left and right

[herbaliser.livejournal.com]

this looks a bit easier, if one doesn't do dvorak

I really want a one handed cord keyboard. Or wanted one for a while. That was back when I wanted to improve my typing speed and also be able to use a mouse/pen while typing. But then I started using laptops and it became impractical.
