[Deutsche Version]
I am sure there must be dozens of ways to drill in screws with just one hand.
There are magnetic screw divers or drill bits. Maybe a drop of glue that is easy to rub off later.  Or fixing the screw head with the index finger.
Here I use sticky tape.

I generally suggest to use Torx screwsfor [...]]]></description>

Es gibt beliebig verschiedene Varianten, wie man 1-haendig Schrauben verschraubt. Magnetische Schraubenzieher. Ein Tropfen Klebstoff. Mit dem Zeigefinger den Schraubenkopf fixieren.
Hier wird die Technik mit Klebestreifen vorgestellt.

Es empfiehlt sich, Schrauben mit Torx-Schraubenkopf zu verwenden. Diese erlauben sehr starke Drehmomente, was bei Schlitz- oder Kreuzschlitzschrauben zu Schraubenkopfbeschaedigungen fuehren kann. Gerade bei 1-haendigem Verschrauben ist es [...]]]></description>

Their song &#8220;35 summers&#8221; off their album &#8220;Scintilli&#8221; is cool.
But the accompanying video goes a lot further. It does have a symbolic depth on numerous layers.
Really very beautiful.

- The thumb operates the control key.
- The hand pushes the mouse.
- The ring finger clicks the left (regular button 1) mouse button.
The motions are relatively subtle and relatively precise.
