      Apart from that there might be settings in your system and there might be plugins available that make the mouse more accessible. Please tell us your system, so that people might chime in and give you tips.

      I hope there is a chance for you to get better.

      You both are so kind, thank you. I’m on the latest, and on Desktop OS

      So this is a Mac?

      If so, there are settings for mouse control. I have never checked out how they interact with Illustrator though: https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/mac-help/unac899/mac

       

      There are also foot pedals available for computer interaction. This is probably only necessary if your condition turns out to be permanent which I hope is not the case.

       

      And there are special drivers available for the mouse and keyboard that allow remapping and binding actions to keys. But the choice there is bigger for PCs if I remember correctly.

      i have a traumatic Brain injury, so no remapping. This is easier?
