Quick question: any tips for somebody who can only use one hand?

I kinda... very much shattered my elbow.

Mdubbelm,

@erikKroes Ah. This is where comes in to play for temporary disabilities. Check out https://accessibility.shell.com/windows-10-using-your-keyboard-one-handed-0 for details on using Sticky Keys to make one-handed typing easier.

@darrell73 Sticky keys has (have?) been very useful!

@erikKroes Outch! Get well quickly!

(At least the arm is now helpfully labelled “Left”. So that confusion should be addressed for a while!)

@yatil I like my components labelled 😄

@erikKroes guess it's time to turn on sticky keys on MacOS or Windows - guess Linux has something similar?

Heal well 💜

@sarajw Sticky keys did work. And dictation!

@erikKroes I'm glad! How long are you having to be trussed up like that? Then physio I guess?

erikKroes,
@erikKroes@mastodon.social avatar

@sarajw That was actually less than a week.
PT 3 times a week right now. Will be a big task for the next few months!

@sarajw@front-end.social avatar

@erikKroes oh wow, so you're out of it already! I bet, hope it goes well 💜

@sarajw It's quite a rollercoaster so far 😄

@erikKroes if it helps to know, I had a much smaller elbow injury, but it took months, even after the end of my physio treatment, to regain the full range of motion.

It now is fine, doesn't even click any more, I have to think hard about which elbow I fractured!

Obviously keep monitoring it, but some of the recovery may take longer...

@erikKroes Don't try using the web. It's as broken as your arm.

PS: Hope you get well soon!

@erikKroes@mastodon.social avatar

@matuzo I tried anyway 😞

charis,

@erikKroes Huuuuuuu! That looks pretty rough. Taking enough painkillers, maybe?

erikKroes,
@erikKroes@mastodon.social avatar

@charis More than plenty! Pain managed 🤩

charis,

@erikKroes excellent!
