The most important technique to learn to type faster is touch typing.
This is a technique based on developing muscle memory for your fingers, and
this is done by combining several other typing techniques into it.
Muscle Memory – By practicing regularly your fingers will be able to remember
where the letters are on the keyboard.
Looking at the keys – At first, you will need to look at the keyboard, but in
time, the need to look at the keys as you type will diminish.
It is called the home row because this is the home position for your
fingers. This is the position that your fingers will return to after you finish
typing something, and this is the position from which you will learn how to
find all letters and characters on the keyboard. Mastering the A, S, D, F, J, K
L; keys is the most important technique.
