Further typing tips.
As my PD progresses it becomes worth learning more and more keyboard short-cuts. There are hundreds of them,but here are just 5 from Windows 7 (other operating systems will almost certainly have similar features):
Ctrl-A (control and A at the same time) select all
Ctrl-C copy
Ctrl-V paste
Windows-up arrow (the key with a flag inside a circle and the key to the right of the shift key) resize window to whole screen
Windows-right arrow resize window to right half of screen
I use a lap-top with a touchpad (NOT a touch screen). When I'm "off" I find moving the mouse pointer accurately enough difficult. It varies from minute to minute, but I find using a mixture of a finger, as normal, and a homemade stylus helps. The stylus is made from a used AA battery with a piece of conducting cloth running from the middle of one side over the positive stud to the middle of the other side. The cloth is taped in place.

PS no one has come up with a song title for what gave the voice recognition output. A clue: a British "This land is your land"?
