• 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: over 1 year 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 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

• 1 and a half month with Halmak

  I started practicing on august 16 with type-fu.com. I practiced for a total of 13 hours. After learning all the keys' locations, I quickly started increasing my speed and I'm currently sitting at a stable 75wpm (I recently got a peak of 97wpm) Https://imgur.com/a/DOgfTt7 (the x axis represents the number of "runs").

• Any typing learning website that allows custom layouts?

  Type Fu is the answer https://type-fu.com/ I've already uploaded the words and layout on discussion forum. Source: over 2 years ago

• Should I try DVORAK or COLEMAK?

  Personally, it took me around a month to switch to Colemak to type with an average speed of around 60 wpm and 98% of accuracy. I've been practicing around 1-2 hours per day to achieve this result. I was using this https://www.colemak.academy site and this nice Type Fu app. Source: almost 3 years ago
