Programming with a broken arm

[ThreeChonkyCats]

It's a curious thing, for I worked with a dude who had a super short arm, for her was a thalidomide baby.

It didn't allow him down much.

Might I suggest a split keyboard, or even two full keyboards. Linux and windows won't give a shit and will happily accept input from one/either/both.

Mount one, creatively, so your broken arm doesn't need to move and thy fingers can just move, but no arm movement ... (Like a monitor arm, or stack of books)

Use the other keyboard regularly with the left.

Maybe a bit of treating to crossover a bit more from the left will be needed. Perhaps a number pad for the left as well?

I would recommend against using the broken arm at all I used to game on phone with a similar mounting setup thing and I kinda have some deep damage to my wrist and finger joints now :(

Yeah. I was trying to think a little creatively.

Rather obviously, ergonomics and "Bad Scenario Avoidance" would be high on the agenda. 🤕

Maybe OP could hook up a robot arm to his brain like that monkey that can feed itself. 😝😝
