At school I was taught to use 10 fingers but as I was typing slower than with 4 fingers so I didn't started to use it. Now I don't even remember how its done. | ||

WPM depends. If I am typing something in my head and I know what I'm going to type without needing to think about it like right now it's probably over 120, but in typing tests where I'm supposed to read and copy sentences on the fly it's rarely above 100 so which do you mean? A good suggestion for learning how to type like this is to get a keyboard like mine, which has no marked keys. It's just completely black. This way, you had better learn to touch type or you're pretty much doomed. It's funny when my mother for example tried to use my keyboard once and said that "it's completely impossible, how am I supposed to be able to type with this?" | ||

A few oddities: - Middle section of keys are pressed with inconsistent index fingers depending on the preceding letters. - Left-shift for all capitals. - Right-shift for punctuation and symbols though. - Left-shift for highlighting things too (as right hand on arrow set) | ||

i'll use thumbs to hit from c to , usually I only use thumbs to hit the space bar/shift/cmd(mac only). I guess it feels comfortable for your thumbs to hit the 'c' and comma keys, but that feels so weird for me. | ||

All I know is I took a typing test at my state's government office (so that I could put it on my resume). I blew it out of the water, the lady giving the test was surprised. Maybe she thought I was a dumbass that didn't have quick & accurate typing speed.  | ||

So when I made this thread... I told myself that I'm going to change my typing habits from my 4 finger typing to 8 finger typing, I have been typing normally, and have been doing so for the last 5-6 months, and today I took a speed typing test. I scores 100+ wpm 20x in a row for a 1 minute test. I'm glad I made the switch! Feels nicer, less stress in fingers, healthier for the wrists... It feels good! I suppose my end goal is to reach 120wpm, but for now, I'm quite happy with the progress I made, even though it took me atleast 3 months of pain to reach where I was at before. | ||

People go throwing around 120wpm like it's nothing. Guess what? My aunt works for DuPont; I am not so inclined to disbelieve him. Especially if she is old; during the days of typewriters you had to pres hard A computer makes it like "oh I can edit? Release the falcon" So...

See so you already know the way of victory. Soon you will cross the threshold, and pass from thinking words and typing them to thinking sentences and WHAM it is onscreen | ||
