Anesthesia Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I don't look at the keyboard and I do type the BBCode myself. However, I do have to align myself with the keyboard when I first sit down, otherwise I'll end up being one key off to the side. It feels good when you have not been looking at either the keyboard or the screen and you can still tell when you've made a mistake. Some people are changed by being a moderator. I wouldn't be.

Guest Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I don't look at the keyboard either and make very few mistakes. I don't write out my BBCode, I choose to click the Buttons!! \ I write fairly fast though can get lazy at times and take my time. I learnt touch-typing myself and didn't use any of those programs which are out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when I couldn't type without looking at the keyboard. I tried to learn to touch-type, but then I realised that that's just a bad way of doing it, and decided to just stop looking at the keyboard and type anyway. That seems to work. Typed without looking at screen or keyoard. No! Fell at the last hurdle. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star. Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Umm .. if you look down at the keyboard and type that doesn't mean your smart. I don't notice whether I type with looking down. I varie from looking at the screen and looking down at my keyboard. It's the year 2006 anf it is nearly two thousand and secen! I can't type number with my aeyes closed. Not really mistakes I'd say, just accidently pressing more than one button at once. ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ CAUTION ☢ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark_ice Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Well I have a theory. You have to LOOK at it once before you start typing. You can't just get blindfolded...and ask someone to put a keyboard infront of you. You have to get used to the configuration, and ithat takes a second :thumbsup: I'm going to try to say "Runescape is a great game" by walking out of the room, and coming in back in... to type it without looking at the keyboard first. here we go runescape is a grewat mge If you actually know how to use a keyboard than you can be completely blindfolded and have a keyboard placed in front of you and be able to use it just fine. See there's a little bump on the 'J' and 'F' keys, which mean that this is where your index fingers should be placed. Once you do this its simple to place your remaining fingers on the 'home keys' and boom there you go. I haven't looked at the keyboard for years.

unknownmasterofnothing Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I can type fine without looking at the keyboard, but once I start typing really fast then I sometimes make mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadburys_egg Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 To be honest this kind of thread is pretty much redundant. People can just say "Oh yeah, I did it with a blindfold, juggling three balls while sitting on hot coals" and really, can you say that he didn't? No proof really. I haven't looked at the keyboard either, it just takes a bit of practice. And Bluelancer; I don't use the buttons either. :P So much slower to take my hands off of the mouse, move and click.

KingWenlok Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 hiqls u dsi> That was meant to read 'How did I do?' Looks like I'm not the material for typing anything without looking at the keyboard, really. Oh well, maybe with practice I can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issy2 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I'm trying right now to type without looking at the keyboard, I tried a wekk-long course in August. so I hope I'm doing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaakilju Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Haha, nothing wrong with learning. 8-) What I meant was this part of your post: I did bad. How about you? Am I the only person typing BBCode tags by hand and finding it faster than pressing the buttons?! Or am I just mad... I've been doing that since ages ago. I just did that with the above quote too, and the former underline. You're not the only one. I think it's faster not to click the buttons, when you don't have to move your hand to the mouse. Or something. I posted this post without looking at the keyboard. Woohoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPM Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I've not looked at the keyboard in years now. A lot simpler to follow the words on the screen and adjust from there then to look back and forth. Keyboards make everything easier. A lot of the time, I don't even use a mouse unless I absolutly have to. ~M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vito_Blade Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 MPM, mind telling me what you signature is a record of? Normally it would be a link I can click to, but it isn't.

LGBR Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I will begin with typing this without looking at the keyboard right now. I agree that the BBcodes are annoying and I just type them in. My name is LGBR and I like pizza! Wrote that whole thing and this current sentence without looking at keyboard even once The world would be a whole lot better if little green men in UFO's came down to earth to abduct rednecks.

OMG! NO WAY! So adults who were around before computers just magically learn to type? I was typing since around 7/8 and could slowly touch-type by about 10/11 and then learnt to touch-type at 100wpm when I hit 13. Just don't try to start a flame war, k? Makes you look like the fool.
