Has anyone here managed to work out how to type with a cat on their lap?

Fraid not. Our cat, though she’s a shameless attention seeker, doesn’t do lap-sitting.
It’s ok if said cat doesn’t mind being an arm rest, which one of mine doesn’t. He’s a daft bugger. But I have resorted to the cozy cardboard box next to keyboard option at the moment.
The current lap sitter has allowed me to move the keyboard from under her head and use it – although it’s rather uncomfortable (for me, not her). The other thinks moving fingers are an invitation to play…
Not without growing your arms a bit longer…
Speaking of armrests. When I’m in the armchair reading, and puss wants to be stroked/scratched/ generally mauled about, she’ll come and sit on the armrest. If i try to ignore her she’ll stretch out her front leg and put her paw on my face. if that doesn’t work, she’ll do it with her claws out. I told you she was shameless.
Our Timmy does that sometimes, too, Richard. He’s got a stare you can FEEL…and if you ignore it, he’ll give a little ‘mew’ and stretch out his paw towards my face. Glad to say when his claws come out, he usually saves that for my arm…
The teeth he saves for when he’s hungry, and he always goes for the soft bit of my upper arm.
