How do I use Photoshop one handed?

Question

I want to find a mouse or trackball with programable buttons to allow me to ctrl-, alt- or shift- drag. Any recommendations? Any experience?

Answer 1

well, a tablet is _the_ way to interact with photoshop. But when using a mouse, the keyboard shortcuts operated with the other hand can really speed up your work.
here's a PDF with a full hotkey list:

I used to have this 5-button mouse that could be programmed, maybe that'll help you out.

I recommand you to use Google Picasa to manage and edit your pictures.

Picasa is software that helps you instantly find, edit and share all the pictures on your PC. Every time you open Picasa, it automatically locates all your pictures (even ones you forgot you had) and sorts them into visual albums organized by date with folder names you will recognize. You can drag and drop to arrange your albums and make labels to create new groups. Picasa makes sure your pictures are always organized.

Picasa also makes advanced editing simple by putting one-click fixes and powerful effects at your fingertips. And Picasa makes it a snap to share your pictures ¨C you can email, print photos at home, make gift CDs, instantly share via Hello™, and even post pictures on your own blog.
