 Stupid dumb accident at home while spring cleaning. I have bruising from
the hand to half of my forearm, can't move the right wrist a lot or make
efforts without pain (like picking a heavy backpack or push the bloody
coffee table back into place), and it requires a wrist brace for safety
until it heals.
 Guess it would be a good time to learn how to play Nethack.

Oof. That's all rough, sorry to hear.
Nethack's probably the most difficult of that type of that game, or at least up there, and really requires writing *everything* down (or a photographic memory, which I don't have) to make much progress.
I really liked Zorbus, which is (or was) free, fairly simple, IIRC you can play it with only using kb as well.
I hear Golden Krone Hotel is supposed to have good accessibility features and good for newbies to roguelikes, though it is $2, not free.
There's always the original Rogue, and the fork Brogue as well.
I really like Dungeon Robber which is a little bit different of a game, but is playable I think 99% keyboard only.
You can play a number of old games like platformers with keyboard only, especially stuff on mame, like I was playing Rastan with only keyboard a little bit a month or two ago. Doom and the like also work keyboard. Though those games may be too twitch depending.
