Good morning, lovely people of europe.
Morning!
made the usual blood sacrifice within 24 hours of arrival by slicing my finger with the bread knife
I've got a plaster/bandaid on my left index finger. I keep getting lost b/c I can feel the little nubbbin for the f key
@otform I was convinced I was touch typing until I bought top-less keyboard. Iβve learned by switching to Colemak, had to re-learn from scratch, so I did it good this time around. I donβt remember which app was supporting me on this journey.
I do end up having a look for things like {} and [] and () sometimes, but from the home row I'm OK on US and UK keyboards. I've slowed down from my 80wpm when just doing plain text tho.
and I don't "properly" touch type as I hit the backspace key wayyyyy too many times. I couldn't do copy typing any more.
for hitting backspace problem, solution is quite simple hit it with Meta/Alt whatever so you delete word and retype it correctly. Few times and no more mistakes in this particular world, or at least way less.
I religiously did 1h typing lessons daily when I got my first atreus. I got rid of tons of bad habits in the process. Now I type way faster and more accurately than before, but I doubt I can say it is the layout change alone
I guess it's similar rule to refactorings than brings performance improvements, it's more revisiting the old that helps than the main changes
I learned my asdf jkl; in year 7 at school (along with cooking, sewing, workshop, and art), and then retaught myself at university to write papers
I recall, when I was 11 years old (many many moons ago), checking a book out from the library - naturally, can't remember the name, but it was small, paperback, had keyboard exercises in it. I learnt to touch type using that. I do about 70wpm presently.
If you can adjust the layout i can strongly recommend to have ()[]{}<>\|/ on a layer, e.g. on hjklvbnmzuio
That's what I have done and have forgotten the strange monkey chords to access { on a german macos.
why would I want ]}) ? When would I ever type them other than emojis? π
Yes, emojis. You can out them on separate layers, too :-) or have a macro which replaces :) with
