I’ve recently started trying to improve my typing speed, which has probably been held back by my somewhat unconventional typing style. Formal touch typing was never a part of my education, and while years of computer use eventually led to me being able to type without looking, I’m probably not as efficient as I could be.

Can you touch type - and with proper form? QWERTY, DVORAK or other layout?

    especially for programming Indeed! I grew up with azerty and still got tired quickly of pressing shift for most of the most basic symbols. Before learning to code, I don’t really remember having issues with azerty.

    workplace requires all work computers to have AZERTY

    dang that’s tough. Usually they ask me what I’m used to, not sure if I could accept a job offer if it came with azerty 😆

      Azerty isn’t even a good layout for French, that’s how bad is it it is. There’s a new and supposedly improved version of it, but nobody makes keyboards for it
