How Many Fingers do you Type With?

RJC · 2 Oct 2012 at 20:34

I type with 2 fingers, one on each hand!

Index and middle fingers on both hands + thumbs for space+ left pinky for Ctrl and shift +ring finger for capslock and tab.
i learnt touch typing when i was in my teens, but instantly went back to my own tryed and tested technique, it works for me, just didnt feel comfortable touch typing.

I was never taught anything like that, now my horrible index fingers method is too ingrained for me to unlearn

Each finger has a key:
Left pinky on A through to Left index on F, right index on J through to right pinky on :
Don't move left or right unless absolutely necessary, rather move up or down.
Touch typing in a nutshell.

Learned the basics in high school and then just went with my own flow afterwards, often find myself touch typing in work without realising.

Are thumbs classed as fingers?

I can type using all my fingers and thumbs, I can also touch type at an average of 120 words per min

I can type 50 words per min with just my thumbs and pinky fingers.

I cant type really well at all.

I used like 4 fingers to type with not including my thumbs. Probably should learn but its probably going to be too hard now. So I'm not going to bother.

I can type 400 words per minute if you give me enough time

I use four fingers for the majority of my typing but occasionally I use more for words with the right pattern of letters. If I was to type out Reaper then i'd use all the fingers of my left hand sometimes

Thumbs are used for the space bar. I use all 10 fingers and thumbs (trained the old fashioned way as a touch typist)

When I say the old fashioned way, I mean on a machine with no letters or numbers on the keys.

2, slowly.
