Ditto. I've typed too much and for so long that I wouldn't even have the time to start looking down at the keyboard anymore. I've been touch-typing for at-least a good 10 years.

It's just a little-something I picked up along the way. When you write as much as I do you kinda get used to it.

This. I can type pretty fast and accurately but I have to look at the keyboard.

I mentioned this before somewhere but I learnt to touch-type by playing the PC version of Call of Duty ( in the dark using Mouse/ Keyboard to control everything )

True touch typing is fairly rare today (using the home keys etc). Most people type fast and without looking but not using the traditional way of typing that I was taught at school.
I miss the days of Wordperfect 5.1 DOS where everything was controlled by the keyboard and no mouse in site ![]()

I've had the same typing skills for 50 years and it's not fast
![]() I did my first dissertation at uni on a real typewriter, which was certainly an experience. I always thought it was a bit weird that we have the keyboard layout we have because more straightforward layouts caused the hammers to stick together, so it was a method of slowing people down ![]() |

I can type without looking at the keyboard, I can't "properly" tough-type (proper fingers hitting proper keys etc.). I'd day I use 5 fingers (2 left hand, three right hand) plus my right thumb for the space bar. I'm well jelly of people who can use all 8 fingers.

School. The teacher used to tape paper on the typewriter and you had to put your hands on the keys under the paper. I can't imagine how many times I've typed 'the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog'.

Lol. Sounds like it was quite a kinaesthetically vigorous school.
