Just got this from macports ("port install gtypist") and I really struggled with it using the HOME position. I can type about 105-110 WPM (typeracer.com) but I don't use the HOME position like gtypist wants you to. My default finger position is:
Left hand: sdfv
Right hand: njkl
Anyone else?
- nadinengland 14y agoReading this reminded me I can `brew install gtypist` rather than piss about with make. Thank you.
- eddie_the_head 14y agoWhere did you learn to type like that?
- codewright 14y agoI type like that, I was a self-taught typer.
- cryowaffle 14y agoIt's more comfortable that way. The HOME position causes my wrists to be running parallel to each other unless I stretch my pointer finger. With the position I use all my fingers are comfortably curved. But to answer your question I was not formally taught to type -- I assume most people aren't formally taught to type. You just do it more and more and more until you have no need to get any faster.
