are you: right-handed, left-handed, or ambidextrous

and: which finger do you use to hit the spacebar when you type?  left thumb?  right thumb?  both at once?  alternating?  some other godforsaken finger?

among other possible reasons, when you’re taught touch-typing (in my case by the timon and pumbaa lion king typing game), your fingers sit naturally on the home row and your thumbs are perfectly positioned over the spacebar hope this helps

I had to give up because my keyboard is too sensitive and the keys were depressing while I was reaching. (but i’d already blown it)

Also I’m typing this entire paragraph with my eyes closed. When I was a boy, our home computer (in the days when it was unusual for any home to have more than one computer, if that) had a game on it that taught touch-typing, and I played it a lot. Then And I’ve done enough typing since then to keep the skill fresh. I don’t know if my dad was being foresighted about what his children’s future was likely to hold’ he may have got the game for himself originally; lots of record-keeping in his job, which meant lots of typing once the computers arrived.

That went better than expected, considering I’m on my phone. On my laptop I can match pedanther’s accuracy, for much the same reason. Do the youths not learn touch typing any longer?

brin-bellway

I wouldn’t necessarily say that I *learned* touch-typing, per se. I learned to touch-type the same way that (I am told) I learned to read: there was little to no deliberate effort involved, it just sort of *happened* given enough exposure. (So my question is, not “do the youths not learn it any longer”, but “do the youth not type enough to learn touch-typing by osmosis?”)

(And yes, I did type the rest of this with my eyes closed. I did open my eyes to check whether I’d erased enough when backspacing, though, but only for rephrasings and not typos..)

ravenskuewaller. ravenskuewalkee. I could do it with a physical keyboard, but am using a mobile device with a digital keypad, so can’t feel the positions of the keys. (At work, I apparently awe people by often inputting book titles or ISBNs without watching the keyboard, because apparently, no one else ever learned to type.)

Touch-typists unite! XD

brin-bellway

I don’t know why some of the people above are wondering about people not taking typing classes. I never took typing classes. Why would I need to? Touch-typing is just a thing that happens sometime during the 10+ years of ‘puting. I put no actual effort towards learning it.
