Can you operate Shift, Ctrl, and Alt with a finger on your left hand? If so, you could push and hold those keys with a left finger and type the other key with a right finger, which might be easier that doing chords solely with the right hand. >> * Is the disability temporary or permanent?

I had a clean fracture of the first bone in my fourth finger. He recommended a pin to hold the bone straight until it mended, and installed it that day. 4 weeks later he pulled the pin. A few weeks later, physical therapy started; and went for a few months. >> I did some typing benchmarks: > I am getting faster and more accurate.

You will get more accurate with practice. Do not worry about speed; avoiding errors is better. You might find that you think more before you type. I use an 87-key (tenkeyless) keyboard. This moves the mouse closer, which reduces arm and shoulder fatigue. But, I do miss the keypad when playing FreeCiv. David
