Or get a better keyboard:

Might like to try a keyboard made for one-handed use:

Have you tried using sticky keys (under System Preferences, Universal,
Keyboard)?

With sticky keys enabled, the modifier keys "stick" on the initial
press, you (for example) can sequentially type Shift then a number key
to get a symbol.

A single press of the modifier only sticks once for the next
non-modifier key.

Two presses of the modifier locks it for all subsequent keypresses,
until you press the modifier again (to cancel it).

e.g. you can type Shift Shift 1 2 3 and get !@#

It has optional audible feedback and on-screen display of which
modifiers are active and locked.

Have you tried

System Preferences -> Universal Access -> keyboard -> Sticky Keys

This should allow one handed operation.  

Of course if you have already tried it, and discarded the idea,
then please disregard this suggestion.  Not all approaches to a
problem are suitable for everyone, and personal preferences count
more than someone else's idea of how to do something.

If you don't like any of the other responses, create a keyboard map to
do it.  You can use a tool like this:

or edit the file directly.  If it's too intimidating a task for you,
I'll do it for ten dollars U.S.
