I always use the Left shift, never the right. And I kinda just hover over the keyboard and go with the flow... I hated learning that official home-row crap. I could never do that for some reason. I don't need to look at the keyboard when typing, but it helps (I go faster when I do). [addsig]

I think what caused me to use the home row base despite my half-logical/half-random keypressing beyond that was my middle school typing units in the computer class - I'd get the teacher upset if I didn't do it right, but if you start your fingers out there it looks surprisingly convincing, at least to the untrained eye... aka, the teacher.

I ignored all my touch-typing lessons and did things my own way. Mainly it's the same, but I hit numbers differently and I make ample use of the backspace. Even without looking I know when I mistype and I have worked in the backspace button so well that I can type rather fast with few errors for someone with such poor posture and hand pains.

i can look at the screen and type at the same time perfectly. i guess i know exactly where the keys are (yes and characters too..) does that make me weird?

I usually type with the middle and ring finger of either hand.

Or my penis.

i still need to look at the keyboard, and when i do i can type quite fast. (compared to not very long ago). i sort of know where all the keys are, but that doesn't help much unless i'm looking. which kind of sucks in-game.

Does somebody not have very good hand eye coordination lol. Just kidding. I sort of realized I don't really 'know' where the keys are, such as if you asked me to find certain key's I'd pause for a moment and look. Its gotten to the point that I don't really know what I'm typing, but my fingers do. It's really hard to explain, but I can see the words in my head as I type them on the keyboard. Not not literally, but I can imagine them easily as if I were writing them on paper. I can get going pretty fast if I know exactly what I'm going to say. [addsig]

No .... they moved out last week, worst tennent I've ever had.

Also, how can a voice be tiny? It isn't a physical entity. It's magnitude are waves which means it's measured by volume. I'm sure Tracer will come along to say the same thing I did, but with a more complex explination lol. [addsig]
