• Learning touch typing while learning to code

  Hi. I recently started learning a new programming language on a daily basis. Today I started learning touch typing on typingclub.com however it got me thinking - how can I focus on learning to code while also focusing on not typing like I'm used to (which is without looking at the keys, using all of my right hand's fingers and my left hand's index finger only).

• Will my typing speed improve?

  Did you learn proper typing technique (or something very close to it) by going to typing.com or typingclub.com or some similar website and working through all the various lessons and exercises until you could type without looking at the keyboard? Source: almost 2 years ago

• how to move beyond 55-61 WPM ( on average)

  I have been touch typing for the last four years ( not FULLY four but always typed if not used a program like typingclub.com). I would rlly love to have a HIGHER WPM but honestly idk HOW to get one. Like typingclub is faar too both difficult and useless for me now. Other websites don't seem as good. I did like Rush Race but everyone beating me half the time is quite discouraging. Overall, I want a more impactful... Source: almost 2 years ago

• How do I switch from qwerty to dvorak fast?

  If you can type the pangram the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog without looking at your keyboard, then you know where all 26 letters of the alphabet are on the Dvorak layout. That means that you no longer have any need for the beginner websites such as typing.com or typingclub.com or ratatype.com and can instead move onto the second of the two phases of learning to type. The second phase is one that... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Should i switch to ten finger typing?

  You should absolutely continue learning 10 finger typing on typingstudy.com typing.com typingclub.com or keybr.com or whatever site you're using. Being slow and inaccurate is a temporary state that you go through whilst you're learning, yet everyone who asks the same question as you have phrases it in a way that makes it sound like it's a permanent state that they will never get out of i.e. Their destined to stay...

• What websites are best for getting better at typing?

  There are sites like typing.com, typingclub.com, ratatype.com, typingstudy.com and keybr.com which are all designed to help people learn to touch type. Their purpose is to take someone who has to look down at the keyboard and "hunt and peck" at the keys in order to type, and get them to the point where they don't need to look at the keyboard at all when they type.

• So, I've started to use dvorak.

  I'd look at NoThisIsJohn's Dvorak tutorial as well as use typing.com or typingclub.com to learn how to touch type. Once you can touch type and type at around 40-50 WPM consistently, I'd switch to TypeRacer, NitroType, MonkeyType or any other typing website of your preference to practice typing (and make sure to practice some quotes if you do use a website like Monkeytype).

• my friend never heard of touchtyping and still manages to pass me.

  Whilst your friend may not have been aware of the "home row" technique taught on typing.com and typingclub.com and ratatype.com your friend might have already been able to type pretty quickly using their own less conventional method. Source: about 2 years ago

• i skipped ahead and cheesed the final lesson of typing club using two fingers. is typingclubs home row style worth learning anyway?

  If you read any typing guide or watch any video on the subject, the first thing thta they all say, and the first thing that they all agree on, even if there's a whole bunch of things they don't agree on, is that you should follow something like typing.com, typingclub.com, ratatype.com or keybr.com to learn to touch type with all your fingers and so that you never have to look down at the keyboard.

• Best method to learn typing

  I learned to type 2 years ago at the age of 38. I spent a couple of hours on typingclub.com and once I'd had enough of the stars and the cutesy animations and other BS, I went to keybr.com and my learn accelerated. Source: about 2 years ago

• Best Typing Program

  If we're talking learning as a beginner then I did about 2 hours of typingclub.com and then went to keybr.com because it was so much more efficient. Source: about 2 years ago

• How long did it take you to master the typing skill and how long was it each day?

  I've been touch typing (with QWERTY) since I was 12 (6 years). I've been mostly stagnent at about 70-80 WPM for about 3-4 years. I think I've gotten a little more accurate because I type a lot since I use my computer for several hours a day. For the first three years, I spent a lot of time doing the lessons on typing websites. I started on typing.com (and have completed it several times), but I've also used... Source: about 2 years ago

• Would I be able to get faster at typing? Mid 20s

  You can absolutely improve. I'm no speed demon the keyboard, but with consistent practice on first on teaching sites like typingclub.com and then on fun sites like typeracer.com or nitrotype.com I can average 80-90 wpm consistently. Source: about 2 years ago

• This is how I currently type. 60 WPM, 97% accuracy. Is it worth it to go back to learning the official technique, or are there other ways to learn to type faster, without having to relearn everything?

  There are obviously many ways of typing out there, and a lot of mixed information on the internet regarding what to do. The method I teach is the classic Frank McGurrin "home row" method (it's the one you see on things like Mavis Beacon, typingclub.com and typing.com as their main method), and it works very well as long as you have someone to explain the proper way to do it. A lot of people who try to train it on... Source: about 2 years ago

• How Do I Relearn Typing the "Right" Way?

  Typingclub.com Got 120wpm after a year and can type every letter even numbers and symbols without looking. Source: about 2 years ago

• 8 Days In

  Got mine a few weeks ago. It's awesome. typingclub.com's Typing Jungle lessons are great. I got the letters down pretty good, but I still need to get proficient with the special symbols. You can use keybr.com and use your own text to practice as well, which I'm using these days to practice all the special symbols. Source: about 2 years ago

• Typing

  Imo I started with typingclub.com as it starts off with the home row keys and then spreads out from there. I learned the dvorak layout (you should learn qwerty tho) on the website and I improved from 10 wpm to 80 wpm in about half a year. Source: about 2 years ago

• Bad fingers flexibility

  I have recently started learning blind typing using typingclub.com and I have problems with some keys. "B" for example. While fingers L1, L2 and L3 rest on S, D and F, my pointer finger barely reach B and it almost painful. Sometimes I push D key because of this. Some other keys also cause the strain for ring finger.
