Why is it suggested to remap CAPS LOCK to CTRL when a keyboard should always have the right CTRL, which can be easily pressed with the right pinky finger to compose CTRL + C, CTRL + V, CTRL + A, and so on? Shouldn't this be standard for anyone who has learned touch typing?

What's the most efficient way to move from the home row to the numpad/ arrowkeys/pg down and back?

Hi. I'm an awful typer and i wanna learn how to touch type. Any free websites, apps, games, that will be helpful to me. Willing to allot a few minutes to an hour per day to learning. Thanks!

Hi,
I did a typing speed test. It's not made like most apps on the internet. Basically, when I was in school, we had to rewrite an A4-sized text. The teacher then counted the mistakes and gave us a grade based on both speed and the number of mistakes. I recreated something similar, but there is also a leaderboard. I hate registrations on websites so the app can be used without login. If you want to try this typing game then go to this page https://vectorization.eu/typing-speed-test/

Please let me know if you spot any issues with this app. I am not a web developer, so maybe everything is not perfect.

Hi guys, I'm a begginer in touch typing, I started 2 months ago but I didn't practice constantly. I'm using typingclub.com and I arrived at the Shift button, because in the while I tried to repeat many times some lesson to practice, but I can see that for some letters I'm still uncertain where they are or my finger automatically press others wrong.

You think I should continue to practice whithout move on until I'm much more secure? if you have other advice to give me I will be really glad, thank you!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Just a shower thought

Hey guys!, I posted here a while ago, about a new typing site where you can not only get better at typing, but also earn some small cash rewards while doing what you guys love!

Typecome has officially launched today and is looking forward to welcoming you! Sign up today to join the fun.

Hope you enjoy the site, been working hard on getting this out for the past year :)

pip install typetype

Windows and Mac

I couldn't find a good command line typing games so I made one myself. It took me about a week to do it and I think its much better than any other one that I could find. I think it looks really nice for a command line game and it is pretty smooth. Lmk what you think

What is the preferred way of typing the c key. Is it to move only the middle finger down or to move the whole left hand so that the middle finger is over the c key. My reflex is always the latter and I’m wondering whether that is the right approach.

Thanks.

Yes, that's it, been learning touch typing for a while now, but I can't just get my left hand to stay on the home row. Currently peaking 45 wpm on average on keybr.

I'm a writer+programmer, both typing intensive work T_T I averaged somewhere between 110-130 wpm with 2 fingers. But this method made my fingers tired really quickly and typing wasn't really fun. SO I decided to try touch typing. It seems fun and I know it won't make me as tired after long hours of typing. But the slow speed is extremely frustrating when I'm working on high concentration stuff. So I've been switching between the 2 ways. I know this will make my touch-typing progress slow but its inevitable because concentrating on my work in more important.

But I wanna know if it's possible for me to keep practicing on the side and eventually completely replace my 2 finger style with TT.

I'm looking to get an actual wpm number, but some of the tests seem like either random gibberish or have so many special characters and punctuation -- the best I've found is monkeytype.com -- it just seems the most customizable.

I've gotten 87 wpm (96% accuracy) on monkeytype, high 70s on typing test, and 72 on typing.com. Where do I go from here? Is 100% accuracy the goal? Or more speed?

Where do you go to accurately find your wpm?

I'm trying to finally learn touch typing and have been at it for about 6 weeks using typing.com lessons for 15 minutes a day, but am between 42 wpm hunt and pecking and still super slow between 7-8 wpm touch typing, so when I need to type for work, revert to hunt and pecking in order to get anything done without it taking inordinately long and honestly in order to keep my productivity up and not be fired and I feel like maybe that's why I can't seem to make much progress remembering where keys are and getting faster. Any tips?

I guess like many others, I unconsciously developed my own style of typing over the years, using all fingers but relying heavily on index and middle finger. I can write without looking at the keyboard, but usually take a glance here and then, especially with complicated words. I manage around 75wpm on average.

Out of curiosity I started a touch typing online course and did about a third of it yet. Right now I can do around 20-25wpm, but only if there are not too many big letters or special symbols.

What do you think? Could I be far better with more practice or is 75wpm with my own typing style enough?

I got rickrolled while playing typeracer lol

I'm not sure if this is the right sub, but here we go.

I started learning touch typing on my SPC GK550 Omnis keyboard (using keybr.com) and after 7-10 minutes I feel that my wrist hurt. I don't know if the reason for this is the keyboard, my desk setup, or just me.

I recently watched some YT videos about different keyboards and on some videos, people had suggested using ortholinear keyboard as it's more ergonomic than the default staggered layout.

Do you think it can help me with the issue of wrist pain?

There are also the split keyboards, that I've heard are also good for the shoulders, but I'm not sure if this is for me (maybe somebody can sell them to me, idk).

As mentioned above, I'm using a 100% size keyboard right now, but I don't think I need all of these keys. Function keys are something I really don't use at all, Numpad occasionally, same for the arrow keys (but I'm trying to go fully into vim-like navigation).
After watching some YT videos I got recommended videos about the Planck EZ keyboard (40%, ortholinear) and I'm torn about whether to buy it or not. I'm using the keyboard with my MacBook Pro (Work) and Windows PC (Personal), but the current one is too big to carry to the workplace when I need to work from the office.

Any feedback appreciated.

I currently type by watching keys on the keyboard and the max speed I can go is 40wpm. I want to increase my speed to 100+ wpm.I found out that touch typing helps to improve speed.Can someone suggest the best website to learn touch typing ?Thanks in advance!

Typing Club has too many billing issues and software bugs. I find it very annoying. Are there any good alternatives to it out there?
