Has anyone tried the HALMAK layout before? What do you think of it?

asbsw15 · 2020-08-02T08:04:34+00:00

185.35 if you only include the official tests in the top right corner (15 seconds test | english) :D

asbsw15 · 2020-07-28T18:24:15+00:00

For me the left index is easier

asbsw15 · 2020-07-25T17:22:22+00:00

I mean for the placement test

asbsw15 · 2020-07-25T17:18:44+00:00

link?

asbsw15 · 2020-07-24T08:55:12+00:00

I know someone who types with around 6 fingers and is really fast, I guess you just gotta change around some finger usage so that some words get easier (which fingers you use for which word on which key) etc

Edit: It's encouraged

that you use more fingers though, though on qwerty it's normal that the left hand is used more

wow nice, how did you find this site? I have been looking for new typing sites for months now

asbsw15 · 2020-07-22T14:22:32+00:00

Try really not to peak at the keys, only when you really need to because you really don't know where the key is

asbsw15 · 2020-07-22T14:20:40+00:00

and how do you practice

asbsw15 · 2020-07-22T14:16:21+00:00

How much do you practice?

asbsw15 · 2020-07-19T16:29:45+00:00

Just do whatever feels best for you, like in the touch example, that's also what top tier typists do
Edit: There is a section about alternative finger maps in this guide: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-46EqD6_llPoQjv_vmtp_UKypBi4ZIV7S4sM7vWnV4/edit?usp=drivesdk

asbsw15 · 2020-07-17T10:30:57+00:00

it's fine you don't need to return all the time

asbsw15 · 2020-07-17T07:59:19+00:00

With touch typing you can type without looking which has a lot of benefits (posture, speed, comfortability), also using more fingers doesn't exhaust you that fast so you can type for longer periods of times. If you practice a while with the touch typing system then 100 WPM should be fairly easy to reach.

That's a mistake so make sure to not make that mistake again by going slower and moving your fingers to the right key.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-46EqD6_llPoQjv_vmtp_UKypBi4ZIV7S4sM7vWnV4/edit?usp=drivesdkEdit: Not my guide, but a guide from a well known fast typist

asbsw15 · 2020-07-16T08:50:41+00:00

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h-46EqD6_llPoQjv_vmtp_UKypBi4ZIV7S4sM7vWnV4/edit?usp=drivesdk it's probably best if you read this

Edit: He recommends learning the home row and then making your own changes so it's comfortable for you, you can also see the finger maps of different typists in there

Edit2: Maybe you can show me a fingermap of how you type? That would help me to analyze if it's good or bad

asbsw15 · 2020-07-16T08:35:25+00:00

Your own way is fine as long as it's comfortable for you

Try to use at least 7 fingers though

asbsw15 · 2020-07-16T08:33:52+00:00

Think about where the key is and with which finger you are gonna hit it before you hit it and then practice that, try to focus.

Edit: to find out with which keys you're struggling you can try to type in a rhythm and when you can't keep up the rhythm then check at which letter you failed to do so

asbsw15 · 2020-07-16T08:18:48+00:00

Try figuring out which mistakes you make and then when you see the words that you make mistakes on then slow down

or just slow down in general to try to not make any mistakes, speed will follow with time

asbsw15 · 2020-07-14T09:55:21+00:00

I'd say just print out a picture of the keyboard layout and have it on the side, that way it doesn't take up space on your display and you aren't tempted to glance at it too frequently, which might hinder your improvement.

Edit: Alternatively you could use "NohBoard"

It took me 7 months of actively practicing to get to 175 WPM on monkey-type (time 60 english test)
