I use a QWERTY mechanical keyboard, a wheel mouse, and Vim for desktop apps, sysadmin, shell scripts, and Perl scripts. When I broke a finger in a car wreck three years ago, my right hand was non-functional for 5+ weeks. I learned to do everything with my left hand. It was awkward at first, but my accuracy and speed improved with practice. Assuming your disability is temporary, this is probably your best solution. If your disability is permanent, STFW most one-handed keyboards are for gaming (left half of QWERTY plus macro keys, buttons, trackball, etc.) and most disability keyboards are QWERTY with large keys, large high-visibility printing, missing numeric pad, etc.. But, I did find some programmable keyboards with grid layouts. You could supplement a QWERTY keyboard with such and/or build a complete replacement: https://www.koolertron.com/ https://www.prehkeytec.com/ http://www.programmablekeyboards.biz/ David
