Do you touch type?

Touch typing is when you type and not look down at the keys. So do u touch type? Or do you know how to?

I don't really know how to answer that, i'm touch typing now, but I don't always... Not sure why, it just comes natural sometimes.

Same with me like I dont always use the correct fingers. But there is a divide wwhere both of the fingers. LLike there is a divide down the t g and the b.

I can touch type, prefectly well, but when it comes to using a different keyboard I get sloppy... :s...

Yeah I do.

I use all my fingers, apart from my pinkies. XD

Does anyone use the correct fingers? I do whatever, whichever comes natural, although I tend to do 'T,' 'F,' 'R' and 'C' with either hands. and the rest is, left side with left hand and right hand with right side, I think it depends where my hands are at the time lol, for instance, if i'm writing 'Together,' I type the first 't' with my left hand, because my right hand is getting ready to type the 'o' and the second 't' I type with my right hand because my left hand is typing the 'e' and 'r' lol.

cnt say i touch type for about 2 seconds the then have to look down

I do, but as the other person said, I do randomly look down, just to see where I am going to type next. I know where all the keys are on the keyboard..

It's easy to say them on the computer, Q W E R T Y U I O P A S D F G H J K L Z X C V B N M! In real life it is harder, but I can type on an invisible keyboard. Although the buttons are spacious. And big.

Me too, if I tapped on the table, as if I were typing, I could tap correctly, in command to where the keys would be, it's actually really weird and fun when I do it lol.

lol, the keyboard at my school are so rubbish, I can type alot lot faster when i'm at home, and ok, in the CLCas they have the same keyboards, but in school, half the keys are missing and they're all rubbish and falling apart. In the science department, all the screens are weird, some of them are tinted green and pink.

Magnet

I actually do grammer and everything on my "invisible keyboard". Like shift then a letter for a capital letter. I type just how I type on a real keyboard!

Yeah I touch type, but I thought myself so I don't do it properly. x] Just as fast and accurate though, don't see why you have to have all fingers on the same 8 letters (homekeys?) and elbows wedged in all the time. But I know where all letters are on keyboard etc..

some man in my I.T lesson was watching me type and he was showing me the proper way but i tried it , wasnt that hard but im use to how i type and its easier

Clo
20-08-2005, 04:23 AM
Hmm well I do touch type and I can touch type fast but sometimes I lose my bearings and lose track of where my fingers are on the keyboard so I have to look.

Bef
20-08-2005, 04:31 AM
I touch type if u mean i dont look at the keyboard. But i dont like use all my fingers. Ive never been taught to touch type. Just comes naturally.

Clo
20-08-2005, 04:33 AM
I don't really see how you can be taught to touch type. :s
{I touch typed this:)}

My dad tried to show me how to use the correct fingers once, but I ignored him :p. I dont look at the keys but I dont think I use the correct fingers, I just use whatever :p

Its easy when you use the computer as much as me.Touch typing is cool cos you can see if you've made any mistakes quicker without checking at the end xD

Steven
20-08-2005, 11:30 AM
I do it sometimes. I can do it fine and everything I just seen to prefer looking at the keyboard. When people watch me type thats when I start to typo. XD

Jashmine
20-08-2005, 11:39 AM
I can touch type, but I don't really like having my fingers in the right place =/ It feels so strange. So I don't really press the right keys with the right fingers... I do use all my fingers though ;P Even my pinky occasionally (For like caps and shift)^_^
I can't type too much without looking at the keyboard. Sometimes I get scared I'm not going to hit the right button, so i glance down.

Janumz
20-08-2005, 11:54 AM
Yeah.. I can touch type.. as in not looking at the keys.. I'm not sure whether my fingers are in the right place or not but to be honest I don't care :P Aslong as I can type then I don't care whether my fingers are in the totally right place or wrong.. I use all my fingers except my little finger on my left hand.. (I use the one on my right hand to press shift :P)
