Interestingly enough, this semester, I've begun including images of programming code that I force my students to type out specifically to give them typing exercises. There's no errors, and they're variants of stuff from the books so they don't copy and paste from a PDF. My logic is that while CS is mental, typing the code is still a physical activity we use. Like any other physical activity, the best way to get better is to drill the motions until they become second nature. While there ARE typing tutors, I haven't found any programming specific typing tutors. I think a normal typing tutor is nice, but since syntax requires so many symbols, typing English sentences only helps so much. I also think (still in the 'physical activity' mindset) developers can use these typing exercises are warm-up exercises. Just like a sport, you stretch and warm-up so you a loose and ready. Typing out basic for loops and functions can help in the same light.
