This project allows you to reach all the letters of the alphabet while touch-typing with one hand.

At some point in mid-to-late 2022, I broke my left arm, which meant I briefly couldn't use my left hand for typing. I looked for schemes to solve this problem, and the highest-potential one I could find was spelled out in an old XKCD blog post: "Mirrorboard, a one-handed keyboard layout for the lazy." The basic idea was to create a hotkey that dynamically switched the letters from one side of the keyboard (the one corresponding to your broken/unusable hand) over to the side that's under the hand that you could do stuff with.

This idea seemed so simple and helpful that I was shocked that I couldn't find a widely usable implementation easily; the blog post only offered a configuration file that could have been used for XInput devices.

So, during the twenty-four hours of Kent State University's 2022 hackathon, I implemented my own version of the idea, and made it available on the Internet. In practice, typing this way is surprisingly intuitive; it's not instantly effortless, but your existing muscle memory actually helps you out a lot. Please feel free to try it out on its official site, where it's implemented in-browser inside a practical text editor, with two tutorial modes and an accompanying executable for everyday use on Windows. The product won second place overall at the hackathon as a solo effort.
