#touch-typing — Public Fediverse posts

QuickQWERTY 1.2.2 is now available! This release comes with two changes.

First, it fixes a rather annoying bug that caused the 'Restart' link to send the learner all the way back to Unit 1. This has been fixed to restart the current lesson.

Source code management has moved to Codeberg. Links and documentation have been updated accordingly.

Suggestions for practicing #TouchTyping in #Japanese (at the kana level, JLPT N4/N5, or primary school level) please?

I'm giving up on Kana-dojo now, https://github.com/lingdojo/kana-dojo/issues?q=author%3Apeterjc

First impressions of https://japanesetypingpractice.com/ are much better - not as pretty, but it seems to work with the IME on, or supports various romanisations - which is where Kana-dojo failed.

Dry but worth a look?:

Update: Blog post https://astrobeano.blogspot.com/2026/03/naginata-style-update.html

Added lessons and progress tracking for the Dvorak and Colemak keyboard layouts, all bundled with the installation.

@argv_minus_one Despite I've remapped CapsLock key to left Ctrl — I'm still using CapsLock function (remapped to LShift+RShift) every day.

With touch typing it is necessary to enable CapsLock when typing something only with capital letters. Instead, it will be a crazy juggling with both Shift keys and letter keys :drgn_hide: – switching between LShift for HJKL and the RShift for ASDFG (see the picture) all the time :drgn_flat_nervous:

I learned touchtyping at schools with typewriter. So basically I have no any tips at all. But I remember the typewriter keys at the time were very heavy.

It was much heavier than current computer keyboard. It made the computer keys to be very soft and easy to press.

May be you want to give it a try.

Text editing skill is extremely useful and it will always be useful forever.

But in my experience, I have even more useful skill. It is touch typing.

Whether it is for text editing or number crunching, or thinkering with graphs, touch typing is always super helpful.

I've been working with software and writing code for the last eight years. Nevertheless, I came to a sad realization a couple of weeks ago: I can't type properly.

Yep, that's it. I suck at it. I'm always looking at the keyboard because I forget where the keys are. But finally I had enough. I decided to learn how to type properly, with all my fingers, with good ergonomics, and more importantly, without looking.

When I learnt to touch type, on Linux/Unix over 30 years ago, I chose Dvorak.
Great system, and I am fast, BUT the lack of modern Dvorak keyboards is a nuisance. I switch the keys around, and have to improvise the ‘homekey bumps’.
Cannot be bothered switching to QWERTY. I can look-two-finger type QWERTY at around 80wpm, but the touch-typing muscle memory is too ingrained now.
Editing is a pain if I have to work on a QWERTY system. If I wasn’t such a geek back then, things might have been different now… 😂
Still, you have to be true to your self. 👾🎒🖲️⌨️

I’m pretty sure that I’m talking to a skewed audience here, but anyway:

Did you “formally” learn to type? As in, with software / a teacher or instructor?

If you can add a generation or general age indication in with your answer, that would be useful too.

Как и зачем в школах США обучают слепой печати?

На самой популярной платформе по обучению слепой печати — более 38 млн учеников и 677 тысяч учителей. Навык слепой печати это как умение читать: научившись однажды, пользуешься им всю жизнь. В США это поняли давно и сделали «touch typing» частью образовательных стандартов, а следом — и школьной программы. Сначала это вызвало опасения, что теперь дети в Америке не будут уметь писать от руки. Будут, конечно. А вместе с тем — быстро печатать на клавиатуре, не прилагая особых усилий.

@patrick Woaw! I feel like I need this #vim plugin too!

First time I hear about #touchtyping
practice outside a navigator.

Will be dramatically useful for #colemak or #dvorak practice.

ZSA, firma produkująca ergonomiczne klawiatury, uruchomiła swoją stronę do nauki pisania - https://typ.ing/

Wyglądem strona przypomina dobrze znane https://monkeytype.com/ , ale na te chwile oferuje mniej możliwości konfiguracji niż konkurencja 😞

To co jednak ją wyróżnia, to to że strona została zrobiona tak aby była w 100% używalna tylko i wyłącznie z poziomu klawiatury, bez użycia myszki. Bardzo ciekawie to zaimplementowali 🤔

Myśle że dam jej szansę, chociaż z MonkeyType ciężko będzie wygrać 😉

Is there a name for the type of encryption when you accidentally type without realizing your hands are shifted one or more keys on the keyboard from their proper positions? Something analogous to a Caesar cipher but in QWERTY?
