Can't you touch type?

[tik 🪀✨]

An explanation for (normal) people:

"Completely" means you don't have to look to accurately located nearly everything: All text (including numbers and symbols), navigation keys (Tab, Home, End, Page Up, etc), and function keys (F1-F12).

"Mostly" means you don't have to look to accurately locate all letters and numbers, but you have trouble with navigation keys, function keys, or some symbols. You still use most of your fingers and don't need to dart your eyes back from the screen to your keyboard.

"Sometimes" means you don't have to look to accurately locate most letters and numbers, but have to dart your eyes juuuuust to make sure. Sometimes you resort to index fingers. You have to double check with your eyes often.

"Hardly" means you are proficient at looking at the keyboard and puh-cheowing your index fingers onto where you find the button you desire. Numbers, symbols, and everything else requires extra focus.

"ALAS" means you are could reply to this thread, given enough time, but you prefer to just use the mouse and avoid that other monstrosity, thank you very much.

REMEMBER: The better you are, the worse you are. I voted "Mostly" because I still struggle to find F8 when I need it, which is almost never, and I kinda suck at using the number pad because I'm not an accountant.

EDIT: Given the criteria, I should have voted "Completely," but I didn't check the change your vote option because Friday night and vodka and loneliness.

angus, you are the best

Mostly. I don't understand how some people have reflexive memory of every single letter/symbol.

I only do because many uncommon symbols are used when programming.

Only for a time, though, as the more you program the more using those keys becomes tied to muscle memory.
