I can write with both my hands so I am ambidextrous. But it means adept and deft in using both the hands equally. So if someone was exhibiting their skill of ambidexterity by writing something with both their hands simultaneously, what would this piece of action be called? Is there a word for it?

I need the word that means simultaneously using both the hands, for writing or whatever.

I need the word that means simultaneously using both the hands, for writing or whatever.

Actions involving both hands simultaneously are called bimanual. Playing a piano is an example of bimanual activity. Others would be tying shoes, clapping hands, etc. As @ Third News commented above, researchers use the term bimanual simultaneous handwriting, but I wouldn't expect that to be in common parlance. The problem with seeking a single word for an obscure condition or rare phenonmenon is that even if if you find one, it is likely to be of little use since no one would understand it without the definition being provided. Still, how would you know if you don't ask.
