I’ve always been somewhat fast at typing, at least compared to your average hunt and peck person. But I’ve always had to look down.

So if I was typing something from memory, I could go something like 35 to 45wpm. But I could never test that high on typing tests, because I have to look at my hands, not the screen.

So in my downtime at work the last couple months, I’ve been practicing touch typing. This is as far as I’ve gotten, but it’s a nice foundation to build on.

    Thanks for the write-up!

    That’s what I was worried about with alternate layouts. I want to type fast and comfortably, but I also find myself on a lot of different computers throughout my week, and only one of them is mine. I’ll probably stick to qwerty for now. Though I’ll still poke at it for fun 👍

    I didn’t know about azerty, sounds dumb 😬

      Yeah if you need to use different computers often it might be best to stick with qwerty 😢
