[Trainer-Talk] Need help one hand typing

[Andrews, David B (DEED)]

Windows has some functions to help in this kind of situation, I think it is called smart keys, sticky keys, press shift five times in a row, quickly. That holds down alt shift control ... so you can do two-key combinations.

You could look around in accessibility options to see if there is anything else.

Hello. I don't know of a program for one handed typing. One of the other tech instructors where I work has taught people how to type with one hand before. He teaches them to use a regular keyboard over several months. When done, many of them can type with one hand and reaches speeds around 20 WPM. It's really quite amazing the methods he has used and the success he has had over the years. If you write me privately I can give you his contact information.

Regards,
Wayne Merritt
