I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.

Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?

    I learned to touch type on QWERTY in middle school. I do it mostly conventionally except for some reason I never really used the right shift key.

    Same! Not sure how that came to be? Perhaps because right shift is too far away compared to left?

      Maybe we were taught the left side first. And it worked well enough we never engaged the right.
