Touch typing is an absolute must, and I can’t imagine how anybody uses a keyboard without it. Though it is fun to see people’s reactions as you stare them in the face to hold a conversation while never breaking your keystrokes.
Recently I got a CharaChorder though, so I have to completely relearn typing. I definitely forgot how hard it can be at first.
I’m a software dev and one of my coworkers is a hunt and peck typist. I couldn’t function that way. He’s actually incredibly fast though, so it works for him. Definitely wouldn’t for me.
even if people don’t learn the standardized way, you would think they would just learn their own way to type blindly over the years…at least for the standard characters and not the more obscure special characters like § or whatever.

I had to look it up, but chorded input? What made you switch to it? Interest or necessity?
