Linux support appears to be in beta. Windows is on the roadmap and being worked on AFAIK.

Talon: https://talonvoice.com/

^ the voice coding (and eye tracking) system referenced by the author. I use it every day. It's actively developed, has some unique capabilities, and the community is great!

That's awesome that you were able to solve your issues with changes to your equipment. I wish I could do the same. Unfortunately, some of us have tried all types of ergonomic devices, and none of them work, thus the emergence of "alt" input like Talon. That being said, I personally fall back to an ergo keyboard like the one you posted for short bursts as needed, or use a stylus to peck at keys.

Talon is great. It practically saved my career as a coder. There is a learning curve, but it's aided by the #help channel in Slack (https://talonvoice.slack.com/messages/C7ENXA7C4), which is a good starting point after installing the (currently Mac-only) package at https://talonvoice.com/. It took me a while (several months) before I could be reasonably productive, but that's because I was trying to avoid usage of my hands altogether, the available community commands were still fledgling, and I was transitioning from another voice control system.

It'll be easier if you can still mostly use your hands since you can incrementally move over to voice coding/control, and the built-in functionality and community commands have truly progressed. There's also the eye tracking functionality if it's difficult for you to use a mouse/trackball etc.

There is a community-maintained Talon VSCode plugin, but no explicit TypeScript integration. That's a great idea, though! I think some folks use VSCode snippets to help their workflow. I personally want to get to the point where I can utter commands that can write the correct code in whatever language/context I happen to be in, and maybe something even higher level than that. The Talon author and community members are already thinking along those lines, as evidenced by upcoming APIs that make Talon easier to use and even more configurable/extensible than it already is.
