  • I don’t look at the keyboard. I don’t do home row either, though. I just put my hands on the table and magically know where the keys are.

    The English Wikipedia:

    Although the phrase refers to typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys—specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory—the term is often used to refer to a specific form of touch typing that involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the home row) and having them reach for specific other keys. (Under this usage, typists who do not look at the keyboard but do not use home row either are referred to as hybrid typists.) Both two-handed touch typing and one-handed touch typing are possible.








  • I got one of those ARM Chromebooks specifically for this (PostMarketOS, no keyboard cover tho) but now it’s mostly collecting dust since I have a laptop and just use that. Although someone in the house uses it for watching very legally obtained shows in mpv… though “uses” is a strong word since I basically press all of the buttons for them. Shame it’s not getting more use though, as it is about 40x more power efficient than said laptop. Maybe with a USB-C dock that costs 2x more than the thing… My phone also collects dust silently until I need 2fa from it since I don’t even have a SIM card.
