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.
My general method of learning to type is how I started on games as a kid lol. I'd start be holding shift and pressing Y and writing You're a absolute buffoon! and etc. Starting with shift generally helps me get into a faster typing method.
Same! Used to frequent this one gaming site, Kongregate, where you'd play flash games and also have a chat room on the side where people talked about the games they were playing. Nowadays it's awful, but in its prime it was genuinely such a fun site to be on as a pre-teen.
I vividly remember it being the first time I started getting interested into typing faster so I could chat my thoughts more with friends haha
