Try again. Stick with it. It took me a few weeks. At first I did what
you describe.

My right arm has been broken 5 times now, contains several bits metal
(and used to contain more) and has restricted movement, so I wanted
something to make it work a bit harder.

> My school usually only had right-handed scissors. I now use a pair of scissors mainly with my right hand. I broke my left arm when I was seven so it was out of action for about six weeks. Hence my right hand has the manuscript of a seven-year-old although it appears to have deteriorated somewhat after more than 35 years of neglect.

I've put a bit of effort into improving my right-handed writing, but
the injuries make it a bit harder *and* more uncomfortable, so not
much.

It can be improved, I can only tell you that.

> I am (continually... but only rarely is it of dire consequence... I guess I have become accustomed to the inconvenience) reminded that I have received no relief yet from Ubuntu regarding the disablement of my mouse pad while typing. I am hoping an update might enliven this feature and surprise me.

Yeah, I'd like that, too.
