Even if I;m looking right at the keyboard, I can;t +guarantee 100% accuracy. See? I got both apostrophes wrong. Truth be told, +I never learned proper fingerring. That "rr" was a mistake,. That ",." was +a mistake. OK, back to where we're at. Sometimes I plavce my finfers on +the home row, and ten seconds later they just disperse onto random keys. +Sometimes I press two keyts when I meant to press one. This is very common +when I save a file in vim. The correct command is `:w`; I often do `:we` +without knowing and vim telsl me there's no sucj command. And I ofeen get +the keystroke ordering wrong. It's as if one hand has 50 more milliseconds +of latency than the other. + +I never learned to blinf type either. Every ten seconds or so, I *have* to +check out where my hands are ion the keyboard ior they starty doing weuird +trhings and mess tup rtberu7thign I ;k doing. I have, at least one time, +churned out a completye senmtence uninterrupted without looking at the +keyboard, as if directly from brain toi keytboard. this rarely happens. + +What's thwe most painful is writing LaTeX. In math mode there's all these +backslash-initiated commsnds and delimiters, sucha s `\left( \right)` and +`\mathrm`. Typing all these while thinking about math is like soldering +0603 resistors in a moving car. The good nerws is I have a plugin +installed named VimTex, which helps me with some keystrokes, sucg as `]]` +to match `\begin{}` with `\end{}`. But believe me, even with this one +I cannot finish one equation woithjout constantly hittig backspace. + +There, I typoed a blogpost wuithout using backaspace. I have definitely +proven what a terrible typ8sty I am. I don'ty deserve keyboards, and at +this point I wonder why no one has taken them away. Dvorak won't save me, +nor will it save anyone who is not equipped with enough dexterity to +distinguish themselves from an ape. This would serve as a cautionary tale +for your children to start typing early, or forerver be bound to a fate of +sloppy typistry. |
