Hi,

I type on a keyboard for more than 15 years and during that time I developed my own system. I use about 8 of my fingers 80% of the time, but I haven’t trained myself to use a proper touch-typist finger layout. E.g. I use my forefinger a lot where I could use other fingers for the keys instead and don’t move my fingers so much other the keyboard.

I type between 65-85 WPM with my system and I have an accuracy rate of about 97% and higher. I think that I can improve my accurracy by using the proper fingers for the proper keys, but I don’t know how to get rid of the old habits.

I tried several typing tutors, but discovered that they only work for the first exercises. In the moment where I get the full keyboard my old habits return, because they are just more natural and faster than the ten-finger layout I should have learned and used.

Do you have any ideas how I could get better at using all of my fingers for the proper keys?
