Touchtyping

[Xaven]

Looking at the keyborad is a waste of time. So, yes I can touchtype. I learned how in 3rd grade.

[Reles]

Yeah we had typing classes a long time ago in school, I felt really bad because I couldn't do it very fast when I was younger, so I went out and bought me a typing program to help me learn. Now I can average 80 wpm. ^.^ I always keep my hands in a row, it seems easier that way, oh and I ALWAYS keep my eyes on the screen.

I've also gotten really fast at text messaging. It's crazy.

I have to admit, I cannot touch type, dang I have a hard time at just looking at the keys and not make any typos!

[Leeza]

I can't type if I look at the keyboard and I really wouldn't be able to even keep my job if I had to do that because most of what I do is type and I think that would be very distracting and time consuming. I don't even ever have to look to find the backspace key.

I don't even ever have to look to find the backspace key.

Uh oh.

Touchtyping may well become one of the most needed skills in the modern world, along with driving and the ability to use a computer at all.

[Captain Maxx Power]

I don't touchtype. I use telekinesis instead.

[Silmaril]

I can if i don't think about it.

[Meat Puppet]

I also can touch my nose with my tongue.

I type without looking at the keyboard, but I don't touch type in the way that people are taught.

After years of using computers I've just memorized where all the keys are. Not intentionally. :rolleyes2

Same. Formally, they usually teach you to type using all of your fingers in weird locations, but I've always typed using primarily my index fingers, with my other ones used for most of the function keys, like enter, shift, etc. In typing class, I always had the highest WPM by leaps and bounds even though my teacher generally shunned my typing style.

I only ever really have to look at the keyboard for the characters you get from pressing shift on the number keys. I can usually figure it out, eventually, after a long trial and error, but when I don't feel like going through that I just look.

I just look at the keyboard when I've had my hand off of it for a while.
