Ask HN: Do you touch type?
2 comments
One word: practice!
I learned how to type correctly 10 years after I first touched a computer. How? This may sound silly, but about 30 minutes/day of Mavis Typing Tutor was enough.
After a week I noticed some improvements (although I typed slower, i used all of my fingers). The whole „training” took about two weeks (until i became lazy and stopped practice).
Hint: the exercises may look dumb, but they are wiring up your brain the _correct_ way (until you discover Colemak or Dvorak that is...)

I've been trying to touch type recently but am absolutely struggling.
Just wondering if it's too late for me to learn touch typing after many years sticking with a bad habit.
