  Do you look at the keyboard? Like I don't care where people put their fingers, or even if they use them all, but for me its not touch typing if you need to use your eyes.

    > Do you look at the keyboard? It depends on what I'm typing. Code? Very rarely, unless I'm using a keyboard that I'm not familiar with. Letters or other prose? About 25% of the time. But to the deeper point, thank you for clearing this up for me. We are indeed using different definitions. To me, "touch typing" is a very specific method of typing. It's not just the ability to type without looking at the keyboard. Now that I know there are different definitions, I can be more careful to make sure that I'm using the same definition as others.
