I teach writing and one of the things that I started doing was requiring final drafts to be typed (since all students have access to laptops at school, I just give them tons of time to work in class and during my study hall.) They're VERY much hunt and peck typers, so I set them up on typing.com and that's been helping. Because of how now STAAR is online only and requires short answer and constructed response,...

Do you remember all the letters on the keyboard? If not, do more learning on websites like typing.com. If yes, practice on sites like typeracer. Make sure you're getting 97% accuracy. Source: 7 months ago

So recently I've been trying to learn touch typing on typing.com using the home row rules. However, I always find that I hit the Y key with both my left and right index finger depending on the word, and I hit the B key with my right index finger 90% of the time. Apparently the correct way to do it is always use the right index for Y and the left index for B. Source: 10 months ago

Did you learn proper typing technique (or something very close to it) by going to typing.com or typingclub.com or some similar website and working through all the various lessons and exercises until you could type without looking at the keyboard? Source: 11 months ago

If you can type the pangram the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog without looking at your keyboard, then you know where all 26 letters of the alphabet are on the Dvorak layout. That means that you no longer have any need for the beginner websites such as typing.com or typingclub.com or ratatype.com and can instead move onto the second of the two phases of learning to type. The second phase is one that... Source: 12 months ago

I forked the Hacker's Keyboard app on GitHub tweaked it, and compiled it. (using Android Studio). Source: about 1 year ago

Does not work with Hacker's Keyboard (https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard). It closes itself after a few deciseconds, whereas usually the permanent notification feature can be tapped to open and use a keyboard anywhere. Or maybe I haven't tried using it on the new Android 11 yet and yet another of my favorite hacks broke.... Now that I try it elsewhere,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

I used to code NodeJS services on my phone quite a lot when I was commuting to an office. I used Termux - https://termux.dev/en/. It was brilliant, and worked far better than you'd think it would. The main problem was the keyboard because the stock Android one doesn't support a lot of symbols. I solved that with https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

When I had it installed a couple of years ago, I found hackers keyboard very useful. It has NOT been updated in a long time. So proceed with caution I guess. Github link. Source: over 2 years ago
