>>62117622
keybr is genuinely shit for learning anything else apart from lowercase a-z, after you're basically forced to pick up other software like tipp10 to practice caps, numbers and symbols.

I mean, I suppose it's good for getting the absolute basics of touch typing down if you're the type of person that has absolutely no mechanical understanding of touchtyping.

>>62117712
>caps
Uhh how hard is it to press Shift?

>symbols
I don't think touch-typing symbols is the top priority when you're doing <10wpm. Standard stuff like commas and periods shouldn't require specialised training.

>>62117768
When I was learning to touchtype properly, shift was a genuine nightmare in keybr. I had some weird hybridized typing skillset (3-4 fingers on the left hand whilst using index exclusively on the right hand) where I only used the left shift key and had to basically unprogram my brain to use the opposite hand for typing caps.

Symbols was another nightmare and still kind of is for me: anything other than commas and periods requires retarded hand gymnastics to reach.

>>62117916
I have a similar experience. I'm typing with 10 fingers but they are still all over the place.

In my middle school ~45 WPM was required to pass, and then again in high school. And our keyboarding teacher was a fukken meme. She had the keyboards covered to prevent looking and the backspace keys were all pryed off.

I just got ~65 on keyhero. I use only my middle, index and thumb on an old dell keyboard. Did I pass? Will the next release have j-pop and cartoon waifus? It might improve my score.

Keep on-screen keyboard or just a picture of your layout to give you a visual hint.
Work on making less typos first. Brain learns how to make mistakes too - just like anything else, you don't want that. Correction of typos takes a lot of time as well.
Make it your first priority, the speed will come with it and practice.
4 months should be plentiful if you exercise regularly. Take a break when you feel fatigued, and don't force or be harsh on yourself over mishaps. It will feed the frustration but won't speed up learning. You'll be okay.

t. learned Dvorak and touch-typing (and it felt like I was recovering from stroke).

How? I type using one finger with my left hand's finger responsible for the left side of the keyboard and my right hand's finger responsible for the right side of the keyboard with my ring finger on the shift key and thumb on the spacebar. The way I type is objectively dog shit, if I actually used all my fingers like I should I could easily type way faster since I already have the keyboard and key placements memorized but I'm just too lazy to fix my mistake.

If you can accurately touch-type with your own "non-traditional" form then it's not retarded. We each have our own styles.
My left pinky never touches q a z though I was taught to do so in 3rd grade or whatever. Plus years of gaming makes the spacebar exclusive to the left thumb.

Nigga, why are you drinking right after aerobic exercise? Are you trying to suicide your heart?
>>62128049
As a Dvorak user for a few years I have doubts recommending it on a time limit. While it's super comfy, initial learning is pretty tough, because QWERTY is going to interject. Plus there are some compatibility issues with Windose and keyboard shortcuts in it would be everywhere (Linux allows to preserve their places, doesn't it?). The worst part of it is that some computers might have layout locked or their owner reluctant to add another. And you'll have to embarrassingly peek at the keys.

>>62129312
>QWERTY is going to interject
I don't think that's going to be much of a problem when they're typing at <10 wpm.

>some computers might have layout locked or their owner reluctant to add another
Isn't there a layout-on-a-stick solution that lets you plug in a USB into any PC and use your personal layout without having to change any settings? Though that might also cause issues if plugging in USB devices is restricted.

That being said >>62128049 Dvorak is outdated and shit. Some guy came up with it by hand, and for the time it was great, but nowadays simulations and models can create much better layouts. Colemak is probably the most popular one; Workman is my personal favourite, but less widely known/used.

>>62129425
Dvorak is neither outdated nor shit. The only layout that is, is Qwerty - the biggest "baby duck syndrome" in the world. Modern layouts try to optimise while preserving locations of some of the common shortcuts i.e. bowing down to that giant baby duck.

>>62129476
>while preserving locations of some of the common shortcuts
Not necessarily, at least not in a way that harms the ergonomics of the layout.
Dvorak, on the other hand, makes some questionable decisions such as placing all the vowels in a row for no real reason, to the point that there are a few "patches" which improve dvorak simply by swapping a few letters around.

Dvorak was created by a guy looking at a keyboard and thinking, "hmm, how do I make this more comfortable?" Meanwhile, most modern layouts were created using simulations running over hundreds of thousands of words, thousands of times, to come up with an optimised layout. Even Colemak, which does have as one of its """selling points""" the similarity to qwerty, consistently performs better in almost all layout tests with many metrics.

There's no objectively 'best' keyboard layout, just use whatever works for you
