      What happens when an academic's biennial "curses, I'm doing too much writing and my right shoulder/wrist is developing tendonitis, lemme switch everything including mouse to left" meets her "wait, I cut ulnar nerve and tendons on my left hand last year" moment? Details at 11.😬

      I can write no problem because I touch type which is balanced. It's the mouse/trackpad/phone reading that's right-hand heavy. Trying to control a mouse that I can't feel well (see: severed ulnar nerve) with meh-functioning finger (severed/repaired/scarred tendons) is so weird!

          When a whole hand was off limits for use, I found out that I can't write well unless I'm typing. But that's okay now because I can certainly type! So I can easily keep writing. It's the rest of the computer/phone stuff. Not too bad so far, just weird.https://twitter.com/delong/status/1374047265833185282 …

          I'm okay mostly because I recovered most of the function on my finger when I managed to get a *second* elective surgery right between COVID surges—surgery had a small window when it would work, and I just made it. So much elective surgery/screening must have been lost last year.

          I have a vertical trackball on the left, and I'm learning how to do well with it now with my mild issues—nothing that dramatic tbh. I'm managing. But without that second elective surgery, I'd really have lost left hand function to a much larger degree. I keep thinking about it.

          would a vertical mouse help?

          If you use linux, keynav can replace some/most mouse usage with keyboard usage quite efficiently, XEasyMotion is an osx equivalent, i guess it would be possible to get something like it for windows as well. While i do use a mouse, i can easily forget about it.

          Shortcat for osx looks like a nice one as well, but i didn’t try it. i didn’t try it, but https://github.com/lesderid/keynavish … looks like a windows port.

          I use my trackpack on the left side since it supposedly stimulates the creative side of my brain while I'm working. But also it gives my right hand a break.
