Your comment has reminded me of an office mate from my university days.
Most of us type in an obviously sequential manner and you can almost imagine our fingers being the striking arms of an old, mechanical typewriter, flinging out one at a time to strike a letter. Some go faster or slower, but it seems like the same process at different speeds.
He typed like a line-printer, somehow rolling his hands up and down the keyboard and bashing out what looked and sounded like whole lines of text in a single pulse. It was as if he had a chording system for whole phrases, and his arm and hand movements would almost remind you of a concert pianist's.
- woodandsteel 8y agoYeah, that is a good way of putting it. I am not as good as that guy, but though my finger speed is at best average, back when I was typing all day I could do about 90 wpm. My mother could do 120. By the way, with overlapping keystrokes, the big problem with slow fingers is when you have to use the same finger for two strikes in a row.
