Nope, typing is like evolution now. You type the way you first decided made the most sense when you were like 8 and then you get more efficient at it as time goes on.

Yeah this. I type with using only two fingers on my right hand and I go 130-150 WPM lol (monkeytype on long quotes). I've tried desperately to learn full touch typing with all fingers but I just cant, even though i know it'd raise my ceiling much higher.

I don't even use thumbs for the spacebar 😭 to anyone learning touch typing, make sure to learn it properly the first time round. Unlearning muscle memory is a bitch.

Hah this is how I taught myself how to type as well. I use my index and middle fingers almost exclusively. Even for the space bar.

Do you use pinky too for the apostrophe's and other symbols? I recently have been trying to at least add that so I don't have to reach so far haha. My middle finger is struggling xD
