I was never taught how to type... I'm fast enough, 120-140wpm depending on the keyboard and what I'm typing. I think the speed came from playing online games and needing to communicate quickly before suffering the consequences of not controlling my character.
The end result is that I have a strange typing pattern and I use the "wrong" fingers for keys.
- com2kid 6y agoI use my left thumb for left shift, and for all other left meta keys. (I also hit 'a' with my left thumb...) My pinkies are completely unused, except for right pinky on enter. No idea how well I'd adapt to 'proper' typing! (After all these years, my left thumb is notably more flexible than my right!)
- least 6y agoI share this experience and my typing on a normal keyboard is still only using a few fingers and moving them around all over the place. On a split keyboard even, i still 'misplace' some fingers because my pinky finger is so short i can't hit 'p' key comfortably with it. Still, I think having a split keyboard has overall been a benefit to my typing experience and type faster on it than I could on a normal keyboard.
