OneHandDev: One-handed coding assist panel

A one-handed operating layer for developers with an injured arm or wrist

Problem

After breaking their right hand, a developer finds coding, shortcuts, and mouse use extremely difficult, and existing IDEs and operating systems offer almost no mode for temporary one-handed use.

Solution

Provide a floating panel and shortcut layer that remaps common key combos into single-hand sequences; support voice-triggered snippets and mouse gestures to replace some keyboard actions, with presets for VS Code and other common editors.

Users

Developers recovering from arm or wrist injuries who still need to work, plus anyone who uses a computer one-handed long-term

MVP

One-handed mapping presets for common shortcuts; voice-triggered code snippets; mouse gestures to replace some keyboard actions; VS Code extension preset; importable/exportable configs

Revenue

One-time purchase desktop tool or VS Code extension subscription; promote through rehab and injured-developer communities

Why now

Big companies won't build accessibility tools for temporarily injured niche users, while speech recognition and key remapping are mature enough for an indie developer to quickly cover this overlooked scenario
