This question is for all new bees who have just started using computer/laptops.. Mostly I observed is those who doesn't have typing skills uses only two or three finger combination to type on keyboard.

In what way do you operate your key board??

I have a laptop and I place my fingers on the home keys which are a, s, d, f, g, h, j, k and l. Then I move my fingers in the way that typists use the only difference is I have to look at the keyboard for some of the time. I find it challenging to type one handed and it is very difficult to type with just one finger.

Hi!

Thanks for your reply..Since how long you are using laptop.. why do you look at keyboard while you type some thing.. do you feel you go wrong or still you are practicing with keyboard layout in laptops..

@ maximax

a,s,d,f is alright but for the right hand you use g,h,j,k and l... i am a little confusedconfused... i mean the home keys for the right hand is j,k,l,; right? just asking . . . but do your right hand wrest while typing? i am no expert typer, though i can type without looking at the keyboard but i have to press the backspace key a lot . . .hehe.

Actually I starting using computer 7 years back so I am not eligible to answer your question. But I will answer based on how I used to type when I started using computer. That time I had to see the keyboard to type and normally I would use only 2 fingers, one from each hand to type. But now after 7 years, looking at the keyboard is no more required and I use all my fingers including the thumb of the right hand to type.

So your time made wonderful turn to learn good keyboard skills. That's really awesome. But I suggest people to learn basic fingering while they begin at initial stage of using computers. what do you say?


myLot reputation of 96/100. g_vickie84 (305)   ranked 1,380 out of 10,823 in computers  3 months ago

Yes I guess it is good if people follow certain basic rules in the beginning. It can help them to learn quicker. Even there are some free typing tutorials which people can follow. But for me I didn't followed any rule like this and I learned only by normally using the computer. That's why I guess it took me long to start typing fast.

when i was on grade school the teacher told me that the proper way to type on keyboard is when you used all your finger. Hmmm but on high school and college i dont use most often the computers, so i forgot the basic and the right way to type in keyboard. so yeah im trying my best to use the basic skill and the proper way.


myLot reputation of 87/100. gmkk1986 (373)   ranked 439 out of 10,823 in computers  3 months ago

So got a chance to get more practice with mylot...I wish you all the best and you will be faster soon..

The basic principle for any successful learning is practice. That any way you are doing now..

i used to be like that when it was the first time i use the computer keyboard. my fingers actually are crossing with each other in typing which is not a good idea. and now, i am a good typist and have each fingers assigned to the letters in keyboard.


myLot reputation of 87/100. gmkk1986 (373)   ranked 439 out of 10,823 in computers  3 months ago

Thats really inspiring many of us..are at initial level. This topic would be a lesson to all that basic practice and fingering technique are required for fast learning.

At initial stage every one will struggle to get practice with keyboard. But later they become master with high speed typing.

Till one year ago I used just 2/3 fingers for typing anything and everything.. But then I learned touch typing [placing 10 fingers on home row - asdfghjkl;] at home, with the help of a typing tutor.. It was pretty stressful.. But the effort paid off.. as now I am the fastest typist among my friends happy [90wpm]

I try to typed with all my fingers. The problem is I cannot reach the numbers so I would do my numbers and symbols looking usin one finger at a time. If I make a mistake I would stop and erase the entire word instead of go back and edit afterwords. For this I am a slow typer instead of the fast typer. Happy lotting.

If you want to type 60 word per minute. You have to practice to type with all your fingers. If you want to be a good, speedy typist then better use your all fingers to type without looking the keyboard. Its easy, you just practice a sentence that includes almost all the alphabet and the key of the keyboard. Just like this sentence "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dogs near the bank of the river".

Haha I have been working with computers for half of my live~ so yeah I'm actually very familiar with the keyboard as I use it everyday...but when I got my first laptop ( which was about 3 years ago ) I wasn't very used to the laptop keyboard.. as it felt different to ordinary keyboard..and also having the numbers only on the top which I'm not used to...because on a ordinary keyboard I'm used to use the number pad on the side....but yeah ...after about 2 month...I'm fully used to having number buttons on the top too..so yeah...I think typing just need sometime to get used to it:

I don't know. I didn't notice it. Maybe, since we were taught on using all our fingers during our computer class in high school.
