• What websites are best for getting better at typing?

  Then there other sites like https://zty.pe/ which gamify typing and the idea is that you try to beat your personal best score. Source: 12 months ago

• What websites are best for getting better at typing?

  I use a combination of How-to-type, keybr and ztype. All have worked extremely well for me to learn. Source: 12 months ago

• Best learning tools for arbitrary layouts?

  Suggest you leave a message via the Support section of Tyoe Fu webpage with description of this peculiar behaviour 😳. Source: about 1 year ago

• I can type at 100wpm with my 2 index fingers - should I learn to touch type?

  What really forced me to learn is when I got a keyboard with blank keycaps. But short of that, I found it pretty effective to do some typing practice where the text is computer code. See e.g. Type-Fu and in the "Lesson" drop down select "Code.". Source: almost 2 years ago

• Practicing special characters

  So it's helpful to do some targeted touch typing exercises for symbols. I've found it useful, though boring, to exercise on text that is purely a random sequence of symbols. This at least forced me to remember which symbols are at which key positions. Alternatively you could practice on a sample of code. In Type Fu, you can practice on code samples by selecting "Code" in the "Lesson" drop down. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Writing when you can't type?

  I used Type-fu when I finally decided to learn how to touch type properly. It worked just fine, it only took a few hours to learn how to place my hands correctly and finding the correct keys with my fingers. Source: over 2 years ago

• Mavis Beacon

  Mavis Beacon is how I learned to touch type 25 years ago! For a great modern app with a lot of features check out https://type-fu.com/ The MacOS app is nice and it also works on the web and other platforms. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
