Typing speed seems like a rather junior concern. In practice most time tends to be spent thinking or cycling through edits and inspecting test results. I think putting your tests in a watch -n 2 on the second screen would be a much better improvement than fiddling with some reinvention of stenography.

Ctrl clicking though symbols is all well and good but you often want or need to do much more complicated things than that. So, yes, input speed is still a problem for reading and understanding code, too.
- szvsw 2y agoI agree that typing probably is not the limiting factor in most cases and for most people, and so the conversation might seem a little silly… But that’s precisely because typing is fast. Once you know what you are doing, you start typing and you are done relatively quickly, and probably spent a lot of the time typing thinking about what you would do next… but we are specifically talking about a scenario where typing is the limiting factor, or even entirely infeasible, for a variety of reasons.
