I use one of the extra arms to hit the enter key at work. This brings me much joy.
Seriously, one of my biggest frustrations is the tiny inefficiency caused by needing to use a mouse and keyboard at the same time. I can navigate most of it with just the left hand side of the keyboard except for hitting enter at the end of forms. Moving my hand off my mouse or from the left hand side of the keyboard to the right in this rapid, heavily repeated process is uncomfortable.
Now I’ve written all that I’ve realised I should just bind it to something on the left hand side of the keyboard or the mouse though. Oh well, I’ll put it on the to do for Monday lmao
Also being able to type with both hands, hold the old school corded phones we still have, and use the mouse or write with a pen at the same time would rule.
It takes a bit of re-learning, but with the right window manager, you can get really fast without ever touching a mouse except when you switch to mouse-centric tasks like design programs or some games.
I could be so much more efficient on a computer. One hand for the mouse, two hands in the standard typing position, and one hand on an external numpad. It would eliminate the need to ever move my hands. I want 4 hands now :(.

Get a mouse with extra buttons and map one to enter

Nah, mouse isn’t used for switching windows.
