I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.

Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?

    Yes, I had typing lessons for that when I was a kid. Learned on QWERTY and still use it to this day.
    My form might not be completely proper (sometimes I use the “wrong” finger for a certain key), but it’s pretty close to proper.

      I never use the right shift key for anything. Any time I need a capital letter, it’s always the left shift even though that’s not 100% correct.
