Arm amputee programmer here. There are some wild hardware solutions out there.

What I found best was

- a standard qwerty keyboard (I didn't want to be restricted to custom keyboards)

- A learning program called Five Finger Typist. https://www.spectronics.com.au/product/five-finger-typist-2-...

Basically I'm hybrid touch typing. Because I cover the whole keyboard as I type the chance for error increases the longer I type. I quickly glance to know where i'm aligned.

In hindsight I should have learnt to use the F and J notches more.

I have extensively remapped my IDE shortcuts to be easier to trigger.
