Learning to Touch-Type

Hi Monkeys,

你们中的许多人可能是一个老年千禧一代,我比普通的猴子大几岁,而且我从未学会过触摸类型。我小学的“计算机课程”是每周一次(即使是那时)古代Commodore 64s进行非常基本的事情。

While I've taught myself a decent bit of coding, I still use a bit of a modified hunt-n-peck method. I'm not exactly slow at 20-40 WPM, but I'm sure I could be much faster, and not looking down would probably reduce the number of typos that I need to go back and fix.

对于那些可以很好地打字的人,尤其是那些很小的时候没有学习的人,您将如何推荐学习?我不耐烦,每次尝试时,我都会感到沮丧,然后回到旧方法,因为我仍然更快。现在,我正在考虑使用空白键盖获得DAS键盘终极,并将键盘图录制到我的显示器上,以强迫自己学习,但是在我出去跌入150美元之前,我想知道其他人是否有更好的想法。

Hey, if my MD who was atIBfor 20 years can type with only his index fingers, you should be ok. I'm being completely serious.

我们是相同的age-ish正确。我在这里with you, learned on Logos with the little turtle, oregon trail and math blasters, leisure suit larry, doom. Best way to to learn is to put a cardboard box over the keyboard. Cheapest and most cost effective way too.

无论如何,带回俄勒冈小径的回忆。我第二次用您想要的东西覆盖双手,您也可以将其中一个睡眠面具放在您的眼睛上。

one trick that I did when I was younger was to type out the alphabet on the keyboard. Each time you hit a letter, bring your fingers back to the 'ready' position. That helps build the discipline to not hunt down letters, and builds muscle memory as to where they are along with matching the motion to the letter. It also helps keep you tied to the F and J keys so your hands don't wander around as you go. The 5 on the numpad has the same thing - but I never use it.

I've taught typing in adult education and your best bet is to get some software with games and typing drills to get better.

WPM在哪种类型的Cuck和Beta情况下很重要?您是秘书还是图书馆员?我用一只手在手机上用一只手打字,而我的99%的作品打字的东西。我很幸运,每分钟输入5个单词。

最近出现了类似的话题thebrofessormentioned Mavis Beacon teaches typing. Can second it. Buy the program and go through it, it will teach you far better than any online program.

It's $50 new and if you buy older editions can realistically get it for around $30. That's very little money to fret about imo.

Going to back two of the points listed in the replies: 1) get a cardboard cover so you can't see yourself type. It'll make your mind learn it. Whether you then want to use a typing game, or tape a page from a book to the side of your monitor and recreate it you'll force yourself the rythym. 2) Das Keyboard is definitely worth it. Just be aware what kind of switches you get in your''s because some are imperiously more sensitive than others (I refuse to use blues to this day due to how sensitive they are)

Fun fact we had some BS ice breaker thing with new interns and I wanted something cool and non-material to flex so I said I can type 160 WPM+ (true) and one of the directors said no fucking way what could that possibly look like and then I kind of pulled up a site did it on the spot and he was majorly impressed. I also did secure the return offer although the typing probably had 0 impact on that haha.

I 100% attribute how I learned to do that on Runescape when I was young and typing "Selling lobbies 200 GPea minimum 10K" at the Grand Exchange or "Looking for quest partner for shield of arrav - I'm phoenix gang". Good times. But yeah you can also just practice on 10fastfingers or typeracer.

Recently went through a "typing transformation" and completely changed my style. Used to use index fingers @ 40wpm, now I use all fingers, touch-type etc @ 100wpm. What I'd recommend:

-开始by watching this video by Ali Abdaal (can't link for some reason so type on YouTube: *How I Type Really Fast (156 Words per Minute)* ). Gives a good general overview of typing and how to improve speed

- 使用key.br的练习练习对我来说是无价的

- Get a good keyboard. Personally, I recommend Logitech MX Keys. Quiet, sleek and very nice to use

For best results, take a hardline approach. The way I "converted" was to take one weekend and force myself to learn touch typing. No going back to only index fingers. It's hard, and your brain is like "WTF" for the first couple of days, but you'll adapt a lot faster than you think and your typing speed won't actually go down when changing to touch typing.

((Also, don't buy a course on touch typing. Biggest waste when there are so many free resources/guides out there)

Forget covering the keyboard, get yourself one of these bad boys. It'll be a real struggle at first but once you master it, you'll know where every single thing is, including symbols like @ and #. A guy in my banking class accidentally ordered one when we started and was too lazy to return it, their typing was like a machine gun 6 months in (particularly with the loud blue switches)

I started typing a long time ago and not looking at the keyboard. Thanks to my job as an accountant.

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.
