    that’s how I learned to touch type without “learning” It intentionally. never bothered using home keys but I can type at 100-ish WPM and 95% accuracy

      Same… My left hand home keys are wasd because I truly learned to type playing Team Fortress Classic online and needing to communicate without any voice chat. All the classes I took in school for typing didn’t get me anywhere, but needing to warn the engineer in the flag room he had 2 incoming because I was down… That got me typing with gusto.

      Honestly, these days with voice chat everywhere, I feel like I am kind of out of practice and probably have slowed down since I do more typing at work than at home.
