Q&A for How to Type

Try using an online typing program that helps you learn the layout of the keys and which fingers to use to type them.

RATATYPE, Typing.com, TypingClub are some of the websites. You can also look for other websites on Google. There are a lot of them.

Try to focus on the text you write. It will take practice, but you will get used to it.

Practice typing more often and in the way that's most comfortable for you.

Ideally, you would want to keep your fingers on the keys, but you should do whichever is most comfortable for you.

Don't rush through -- trying to type faster than you are capable usually results in more mistakes. Only type as fast as you can comfortably type for whatever word you are attempting. For commonly used words like "the", "and", etc. you can type faster, but longer, uncommon words will require greater care and a slower pace.

No. You can lift your wrists, but don't switch your body weight on them. If you still have trouble, make sure that your posture is right. Also there are tons of websites that can teach you to touch-type.

Buy a new keyboard and discard it. You can't learn to type with a malfunctioning keyboard.

If you keep on practicing, you will learn it at some point. If you practice a month or so, without typing normally then you'll learn it quickly.

Yes, because every sentence starts with a capital letter.

The only way to solve this problem is to learn the English alphabet. Take an English class, or check out some websites or apps like Duolingo and Memrise.

On Samsung Galaxy Tab, you have the Ctrl key; use Ctrl + U, like in Word. To leave double spaces, double click Shift + Enter.

You will use the enter key to make a new paragraph, so if you press the enter key, it will let you type a new paragraph.

You can go to Google docs, or Microsoft Word online. You can also use a word processor on your computer. The library or your teacher/professor should be able to help you.

Moving your hand so that your first 3 fingers are on the keys will allow you to press the keys faster and more accurately. However, everyone is different, so if pressing them with your pinky works for you, and you're used to it, then do that.

Typing with your index finger is slower, and 100% accurate, (and makes a paragraph take an hour) while typing with all your fingers is faster, not 100% accurate but there's a Backspace key, (and it takes maybe a minute), plus when you type with all fingers you develop muscle memory and you can type common words fast.

Use TypingClub or RataType or some other typing program. It's best to use a more structured program to begin with.

Note that typing skills take a long time to develop. Also, trying to go faster than you can type accurately is not good for you, you'll end up embedding all the mistakes. So instead, try typing slowly and accurately.

Try saying, or thinking, each letter and typing it at the same time, then slowly speed up.

That could be for a number of reasons. However, the most likely cause for this is how uncomfortable it is to type using the home keys at first. It also takes time to learn to do it without making your own rules but following the proper technique. After some practice, it should feel a bit more natural.

You press on them with the tips of your fingers. It will almost certainly fill uncomfortable at first, but after a while it begins to feel more natural.

Technically you don't have to, however it will make it easier to maneuver around the keyboard.

Try to use one keyboard to get your hands used to that layout, and if is necessary, slowly do these same exercises so that you know how to touch type with all sizes.
