How can I use the half-qwerty keyboard layout in OSX?
I'd like to use the half-qwerty keyboard layout on my mac, without actually buying any (ridiculously priced) hardware. I found a auto-hotkey script, but that appears to be windows-only. Are there any alternatives?
I'm the developer of the one-handed typing Mac apps below. Should be just what you're looking for.

Mirror-QWERTY
One-Hand Keyboard is the best option, as it has predictive text. Just type the one-hand keys and it will automatically figure out which word you meant. Type "tges"
and it will change it to "this"
. Your muscle memory makes it very easy to do this.
Mirror-QWERTY is the non-predictive-text version. You hold spacebar to "mirror" the keys. So to type "this"
you type [T] [G+Space] [E+Space] [S]
. I find this a lot harder to do.
I hope one of these solutions works for you! Would love to hear your feedback.
I found One Hand Keyboard, but at €79,99, it's a little too expensive to try out.
Edit: There's now a free demo available on the Mac App Store:
