Not sure why you assume people who don't touch type actually need to think about typing.

- wredcoll 1y agoBecause that's the definition of touch typing. What did you think it meant? Also signals are heuristics and thus important because it's impossible to evaluate everything from first principles every time.
- FirmwareBurner 1y ago>Because that's the definition of touch typing Touch typing means not looking at the keyboard while typing, not not-thinking about typing. >What did you think it meant? What do YOU think it means? Can't you not touch type while still not thinking about typing? Am I the only human capable of doing an activity while not thinking about it?
- icedchai 1y agoYes. I don't "touch type" in the traditional way. I have my own technique I developed when I was a teenager. I don't look at the keyboard and I don't "hunt and peck". I basically use index/middle/ring fingers on each hand for most of the keyboard, thumbs mostly handle the spacebar and alt keys, left pinky is mostly for shift, control, tab, right pinky is mostly for return, backspace, arrow keys, etc.
- cdash 1y agoSame here. Whatever I do could not be defined as traditional touch typing but it kind of works. I definitely do not look at the keyboard at all but my fingers kind of just hover over the keyboard instead of resting on the home row.
