A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Tbf, I very rarely type with perfect form like that. Maybe for short bursts when I'm doing an assignment but in like every other case I keep my right hand on the mouse and do any hot keys with just my left hand. Granted thats mainly a gaming thing but also in like GIMP or blender
Blender's workflow of "One hand never leaves the mouse" is brilliantly underrated. They've made the UI more newbie accessible but I always encourage new folks to learn the hotkeys from the start, because you can get SO FAST!!
Something tells me that even if they taught typing, whoever's asking that question wouldn't have paid attention in that class anyway.
... or they know perfectly well and this is just another shitty clickbait post to generate engagement.
Having a booth for a PC game at conventions used to be difficult because people were not familiar with keyboard and mouse controls. If you weren't prepared for this you basically had to quickly add controller support somehow and send someone from your team to the next electric store and to buy a bunch of controllers.
Nowadays, though? Game convention visitors these days barely know how to hold a controller. They keep poking at the screens, hoping something happens. It's a frustrating experience for indie devs sometimes.
So yeah I'm not surprised when people look at keyboards like they're some kind of ancient slate.
Born in time to ask shitty questions on Twitter.
Born too late to JUST FUCKING GOOGLE IT.
They didn't teach typing when I was in school. I guess it's an assumed skill? Anywho, I still knew what those notches/bumps were for :3
Well... Ill explain for somebody who doesnt know:
Those are four your index finger. For the left and right hand.
So you can always have a base point for your typing without looking
Those are four your index finger.
But I only have two index fingers. Is that why I’m not good at typing?
They're not just lines, they're bumps. Haptic feedback as the kids say.
I tried learning how to type properly but my hand joints have always been shitty so I do what I can. I also grew up PC gaming and that influenced how I type. My boss asked me if I learned to type after I started gaming and I was like "yeah." And he said, "I can tell"
"Home row?"
Whatever, wasd and mouse is my home row.
Thumb on the spacebar and left pinky pulling double duty between CTRL and Shift! :p
While we're at it: Fuck those ASUS designers that decided to put those nubbins on W key. Republic of gamers my ass, ⇥a21` you.
I took typing (on a typewriter) in eighth grade for the same reason I took Home Ec--that's where the girls were. I didn't know I'd actually be using the skill just a couple of years later.
My kid grew up in front of a computer, before such things were rightfully frowned upon. He taught himself to type, I've watched him do it. He uses the first two fingers of each hand and a thumb for the space bar. He types as fast as I do, which is to say, I've never been a particularly fast typist, but I get by okay.
What I never learned to do, because I don't do it much, is type with two thumbs on a phone.
They don’t teach much of anything anymore. Schools are babysitters that give grades.
