I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.
Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?
I didn’t learn to touch type until I overpaid for a keyboard with blank keycaps. I didn’t make much of an effort other than struggling to type without a way to check what keys I was about to press, but it seems to have mostly worked. As a consequence I never learned dvorak because qwerty was tough enough, maybe next month I’ll switch 😅
My typing speed feels faster but it’s probably not great for things I don’t normally type, plus I haven’t measured it
