🙋🏻♀️ Recs needed:
I have ulnar nerve compression on my dominant side, and it's at a point where using my (fancy ergonomic) mouse causes irritation and numbness on the outside of my hand. I've tried using my non-dominant hand but I can't work that way.
Does anyone with this kind of pain have recs?
As someone who has too much typing disease in both of his hands, the biggest impact has been to use dictation as much as humanly possible. Everything else has been helpful, but not as much as that. For this situation I would switch between a trackpad and mouse and either side as much as possible.
Thank you! Unfortunately, when I'm editing I really need to be able to move around and click so I think I'm going to have to get used to alternating sides. Even if it takes forever. 😭
I don't know what OS you use, but I think all of them support some sort of Voice Control. Using voice commands to switch windows / apps can really help as well, depending on how often you need to do that of course. 😅
Good luck - too much typing disease *suuuucks*.
Oh interesting—are you saying I do voice commands to highlight certain things and add comments and stuff? That would take learning, too, but it may be so much nicer to myself in the long run!
There is a whole set of commands to do things like selecting words, moving the cursor, etc. (for macOS and I assume Windows / Linux) that can help reduce hand movement. But I was just referring to stuff like 'switch to Safari' and 'next window', etc. All reducing my keystrokes and mouse/pad usage.
