Apparently this does not fix into the tags:
etgemselfesforfuckingreadingthisbullshitandhaveaniceday
Fuck, it cut off the start when I tried to copy it
@dfox Pls fix :P -
@drRoss I mean, theres a way of typing where you map your fingers to specific keys and bee more efficient and stuff
Try searching for 10 finger system -
~70wpm
I use a QWERTY keyboard and what I believe is the standard typing set with all ten fingers resting on home row
(asdfjkl;) between strokes -
@tisButABug that's what I'm talking about
But I'm Swiss, so mines qwertz
Fucking autocorrect corrected qwertz to qwerty... -
I use all 10 fingers... And I use wsd as my home row. Fuck them and their "right way" I'm getting 80-90 wpm
-
@tankerkiller125 so, should I learn "proper", learn my own abbreviation, or stay with randomly typing?
-
I only use 9 fingers. 8 fingers on the home row and I press the spacebar with only one thumb ;)
-
iAmNaN71318yAll 10. I learned typing on a manual typewriter (querty) in the stone age. Muscle memory did the rest. Even coding I can type without looking at the screen with minimal errors, because my fingers have memorized all the key locations. I'd be screwed if I changed keyboard layout.

sha-i2068yTo be totally honest, it blows my mind hearing not all devs use home row. I've tested at ~100 wpm myself, it's excruciating sometimes watching people type.
Type however is fastest for you. But don't get mad if I ask to take control of your keyboard or I'm gonna lose my mind. Omg@find and peckers -
Well, I'm trying to learn it, that's why I'm asking if it's a good idea
If you'd really ask for my keyboard because I'm too slow, you should try sitting next to my sister, my father, or my grandmother (who is surprisingly good with computers after I showed her)
I am like IT-support for my family, so, yeah, I ask for the keyboard sometimes -
@aile11 learn whatever works best for you. Overtime you'll get faster with it.

Trying to learn 10 finger system as a gamer, fucking WASD was burned in my mind for a long time already...
Yeah, I never bothered since I'm pretty fast at typing anyways, but I'm hoping I could get a little faster like this, for the long run
Ah yeah also to stop looking at the keyboard
Now I'm curious, what do you guys type like?
If that makes sense
