Good day to everyone except to the neo-liberals always btching about .ml being a communist instance, we don’t care about your opinions
Moving on, I got my first computer about two years ago and typing has been a pain, last year I read a post online about touch typing and I’ve been trying to do that ever since but switching from my “hunt and peck” method is quite difficult. Changing hand forms and trying to return my hands to the home format has always made me given up on touch typing.
I now have a lot of typing and note-taking to do and I’m trying to learn this, so I’m looking for tips and advices on how to make this easier
thanks in advance, pals
also, if you’re on linux and want to try this out, there’s this native app I’m using Klavaro. It is also available as a Flatpak
Opening up your request for advice with an attack on people isn’t helpful, it makes lemmy a more combative place, and will diminish the totality of advice you get.
Since your still learning typing, you have a great opportunity to program yourself with chorded keying rather then the standard touch typing. I highly recommend it, its quite the force mutiplier.
As far as learning key layout, go full immersion, print out the key layout on paper, replace your keycaps with blanks (keep the home row bumps). It will suck for a week, but your more likely to learn the layout by touch this way. Keep playing your typing training games!
If you want to go full crazy, braille keycaps are fun
