Another upvote for keybr here, a couple of weeks last year half an hour a day got me touch typing.

Also recommended: typelit.io, where you type books out.

For a small subscription you can upload your own books, convenient for bookclub/typing practice killing-two-birds efforts.

Typing books is half the battle for programmers (if you are one). I bet your wpm drops in half once you start needing common-code characters:

The one thing I struggle with is arrow keys and/or ctrl+arrow to go the end of the word or needing home/end to go to the end of the line. I don't want a non-standard programmed keyboard/layout, but it really slows things down when writing code.


https://typing.io/ is a good one for practice


Definitely, I was even going to pay for it, but I feel like I need to dedicate at least 30m to an hour a day for a month, and I just can't be bothered.
