How to learn to type quickly on the keyboard

The life of almost every modern person, one way or another, is associated with the use of computers. Adult people make money with the help of smart machines, children learn and play. Regardless of the purpose for which the home PC or portable work laptop is intended, it is impossible to not use the keyboard located under the monitor or screen.

REFERENCE. A keyboard is a device that allows you to enter text information and control a computer. Modern keyboards are a set of keys located in a specific, most often the same order on all PC models.

How to learn how to quickly type on a computer keyboard

Every person spending a lot of time dreaming about typing on a keyboard wants to. Fast typing on the keyboard increases productivity and allows hands to keep up with thoughts, which is especially important for people in creative professions who need inspiration to work.

IMPORTANT. Quick printing skills help relieve eye strain. The constant change of focus and the difference in lighting negatively affects vision. People who are forced to constantly look from the monitor to the keys get tired and feel a burning sensation in their eyes much faster and more often than those who can write inextricably.

Those who decide to learn the technique of fast typing on the keyboard need to heed a few useful tips:

• Refusal of bad habits. Inveterate gamers who are accustomed to holding their hands in such a way that their fingers are in close access to the keys "c", "f", "s" and "c" most often when typing, also focus on them, which is fundamentally wrong. This habit does not allow the hands to occupy a comfortable position that would allow all 10 fingers to be used, not 4. In addition, among the bad habits that you should get rid of include typing (even small messages) with only 1-2 fingers.
• Printing without peeping. Practice shows that even experienced copywriters who can type several tens of thousands of characters in a day remember well where a particular digit is located on the keyboard. However, they periodically glance at the keyboard, trying to make sure their movements are correct, which significantly slows down the typing process. Daily training and faith in the fact that the hands themselves "remember" where and which button will help cope with the thirst for spying. You can peek, but only as a rare exception.
• The use of "hot combinations". In addition to the fact that you can type text on the keyboard, it also replaces the mouse. The combination of two or three alternately pressed or simultaneously pressed keys can help to perform basic actions with the text, find the necessary information in the browser and even control the computer. By purpose, the keys are divided into groups: alphanumeric, numeric keypad keys, modifying and controlling, controlling the cursor.Each of the above groups has its own "hot combinations" that allow you to perform certain actions without a mouse. So, for example, the most popular combinations of alphanumeric keys are Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V that allow you to copy and paste text. The combination Ctrl + A helps to select all the text, while Ctrl + X can cut it.

IMPORTANT. In working with the "hot keys" with the correct position of the hands, the little fingers should be involved.

• Work in the same rhythm. Not only musicians and dancers, spending time at countless rehearsals and trainings, choose a rhythm convenient for themselves. People typing on a computer can also simplify the process a bit by choosing the right rhythm for printing - the time interval between button presses.
• No need to hit the buttons. Strong and sharp strokes on the keyboard slow down the typing process and lead to rapid fatigue. In order not to have unnecessary load on the brush, it is necessary to press the buttons with a fingertip, easily jumping from one letter or number to another. 6. Do not rush. You do not need to try to type quickly quickly without peeping at the keyboard. It is allowed to increase the dialing rate only after pressing the necessary keys using the fingers of both hands becomes a habit.

How to type on the keyboard with both hands

Correct and fast typing on the keyboard is primarily typing using all 10 fingers. Typing with 1 or 2 fingers is permissible only for newcomers mastering PCs.

The location of the fingers on the keyboard

The correct arrangement involves placing the index fingers on the "o" and "a" buttons, while the rest are on the middle line, on the remaining three buttons. The thumbs are responsible for the gap and, in combination with the little fingers, they introduce “hot” combinations.

IMPORTANT. In addition to the correct position of the hands, the back position also affects the performance and speed. You need to sit at your desk without straining your spine, but also without stooping. It is necessary to find an optimum comfortable position that would not force one to lean on the back. You can not support the chin with one hand.

There is an alternative version of the position of the hands, which some may find it more convenient. If the left hand is above "s", "c", "a" and "m" and the right hand is above "o", "l", "d", "t" the position will be considered more natural, however, on the little finger will be the load is doubled.

Tags for the blind

The fact that for printing it is necessary to use all the fingers says the device itself keys. If you look closely at them, you can see that some letter buttons have small protrusions. In the Russian layout, these buttons are "a" and "o".

Press spacebar and duplicate keys

According to the rules of the Russian language, each sentence, own name, surname or city name must be capitalized. Most people get distracted by typing in order to press the caps lock key to lock the uppercase letter. And you need to press it two times: enable and disable. In order not to break away from the text, you must use the duplicate Shift, Ctrl, Alt and space keys. So, the combination of Alt and any letter will make it capital. Alt + 1 will end up with an exclamation point, and so on.

IMPORTANT. The numeric keypad indicates characters that can be typed using duplicate keys.

For practice and training in fast printing skills, many programs have been developed that can be used at home. Some of them can be installed on a computer and trained even without a network connection, others can be used only via the Internet.
