A little known feature of Windows is the On Screen Keyboard.

A great tool to use in case you have some type of limited mobility that makes using the keyboard difficult to type on.
To activate the On-Screen keyboard, click the Start Menu and choose Run. Type in "osk" (no quotes) and hit OK.
The keyboard will show up and the default setting will keep it on top of the other open windows.
The default also has it to where the keys you want to use are activated by a mouse click.
This can be changed to be "hover over" so that all you have to do is hover your mouse over the key.
To do this, simple click on the settings menu and choose "typing mode", then choose "Hover to select" and you can also set the time for how long you must hover the mouse over the key to enter the character.
The default time for this is 1.0 seconds, but can be adjusted down to 0.5 seconds and up as high as 3.0 seconds.
There are other settings you can make such as fonts, clicking sounds, etc.
Check this tool out, so that next time you have a broken finger, or a bad cut, you can still type.
