How do you program using blind typing?

Question

Programming

Hello everyone, I decided for myself that I need to master blind typing and hung out for 3 days in a row for 8 hours on klava.org, I mastered it well, I can write the text of my favorite song in blind typing, I decided to try to write the first lines of code using the new method and was shocked , how inconvenient it is to write numbers and signs like (), {}, =>, [], $, !, and of course move through the code (I use vscode), the question is how do you move through the code if your hands are in a special position? it’s wildly inconvenient to run back and forth to the arrows, if you need to get used to the signs and numbers even more or less clearly and then the speed will increase, and so it’s not clear with the arrows, I don’t use the mouse. And the worst thing is, now I can’t go back to the old dialing method, my fingers quickly forgot)))

Answer 1

I've been using blind typing for 5 months already, I've trained on vse10.ru (the best I've tried), I use qwerty layout, I type about 300 characters per minute in Russian, about 200 in Latin. I use all 10 fingers, it's wildly convenient, I advise everyone. About navigation: I use Vintage Mode in SublimeText, which emulates Vim. Two weeks of getting used to and the speed of navigating through the code has increased quite a lot. When typing any (), {}, =>, [], $, ! I also don’t look at the keyboard, my fingers got used to it in two weeks.
On the topic, I advise you to watch these vidos:

Answer 2

I do not use blind typing for code, because. not necessary.
Do you always write code like a dictation? When to think?
It doesn’t take me much time to write exactly, it takes much more time for a variety of analysis, testing and debugging.

Answer 3

Matter of habit.
You didn't train these symbols simply.

Answer 4

Printing with 10 fingers is very convenient (both in Russian and in English). There are no problems with numbers, because. fingers move in an oblique straight line (1-qaz, 2-wsx...). The middle fingers serve two rows. The little fingers get all the side keys.
The mouse is very handy for moving around the text.

Answer 5

I use a maximum of 4 fingers in blind typing. The rest are used to press various key combinations.

Answer 6

The hands are already on the machine in a certain position for ease of typing and quick access to the keys. Left hand: JTS Y (or A), little finger
- left shift, thumb - Spacebar
keyboard is turned towards the left hand, so that the hand is straight (the hand does not bend) - gap. those. the right hand is like this picture: the overall picture is like this:

Answer 7

When you code a lot, over time you will notice that you are already writing blindly.
This is probably the answer to the question =)
And so - you can try the ergonomic keyboard. They say it is very conducive to touch typing and the typing speed is higher.

Answer 8

I can't think of code less than I can type it, and since I don't think fast, I don't use 100-finger touch typing techniques. I type most of the code blindly, but I look at brackets, apostrophes and other characters before pressing.

Answer 9

Modern code editors can complete many constructs (functions, variables, etc.) for you, so no one completely types the code.
Better learn the keyboard shortcuts of the code editor you are using.
