Semi-disabled programmer seeks endgame keyboard
Last year I was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, and after several surgeries, I've been left with some nerve damage in my right arm that leaves it weaker and less coordinated than my left. For a while I had no functional use of my right arm and ended up typing entirely on the left side of a koolertron board that was marketed for gamers, with some userland software to deal with aliasing issues. It was a good stopgap but I hit a hard limit around 65wpm and had a hard time reaching any kind of flow state while programming.

Practice typing by retyping ENTIRE novels
https://github.com/jankrepl/mltype is something like this. It is tuned for programmers though. And the quality of generated text might vary a lot. But it gives reasonable char sequences.
