In my last blog I gave a deep explanation that why you should learn to type faster as a coder , soo I decided to make a follow up blog and give some tips ..........
So here are some tips that you can use to improve you typing accuracy-
1.) Use the correct starting position When practicing your typing skills, it’s important to use proper hand placement. To start, keep your fingers positioned over the home row keys (left hand over the A, S, D, and F keys, and the right hand over the J, K, L, and ; keys), with your thumbs hovering over the space bar. From here, you can move your fingers slightly to reach neighboring keys. Your hands should always return this starting position.
These conventions are meant to help you familiarize yourself with the keyboard. As you become more experienced, you can experiment with different variations of this starting position to find the placement that is most comfortable and natural for you.
2.) Don’t look down your hands Instead of looking down at your hands, focus on your screen. This can be difficult at first, especially if you have not yet mastered the exact placement of the keys. However, looking at the screen will help improve your accuracy because you will be able to catch your typos as they occur. You’ll also begin to memorize the placement of the keys, so you’ll be able to type more quickly as you practice.
3.) Use online tests and resources
This is a great way to know your wpm very accurately and also there are a lot of online wpm finders , courses to type faster , take help from these resources no one can be perfect in the first few try's without help , I will leave some resources links in the end
4.) Find a comfortable position for your hands Sometimes the proper hand placement might be too uncomfy for you , no problem if you go ahead and don't follow the hand placement . I told you about it in the first place because it's just the most preferred and easy hand placement , you can use any hand placement if .....
a) it's comfy for you
b) It's increasing your typing accuracy
If it's a yes for these conditions go for it , you know what's best for your hands and everyone has a different hand placement system for typing
5.) Use any typing accessories if Necessary......... This is actually more of a question then a tip now I don't really see the use of purchasing something I don't need to help me type faster ,this is the sort of question only you can answer because everyone has a different view about things and if you really need something to type faster then go for it if necessary like wrist rests for example you can use them if you have wrist problems while typing or they are useless in my opinion
