How do you type?

[Stone Cold Applejack 381]

On a computer I mostly type using my right index finger. However I occasionally do use the 6 fingers method but I make a lot more mistakes typing like that. On a phone I type using just my right thumb.

I basically use...wait, no...

Wait, yes. Geez, it's hard to say. 

I use my index and middle fingers to type. Mostly index, though.

 

I can't type without looking at  the keyboard, but I can write without looking at the paper. Weird, eh? Even if the keyboard doesn't have letters printed on it, I need to be looking at it just so that I don't entirely miss the keys.

Fingers? What? 

Anyways, I normally type using a stylus. Using the tip of my hoof is extremely hard.

I use both my hands to type...more than one finger, and I type pretty fast.

used to test out at 46wpm with no uncorrected errors - haven't checked in over a decade though.

t's called hunt-n-peck,

This. Since the dawn of Computers thats the term because its literally what you are doing.

However for me, its sorta different. I kinda know where the keys are now, but having all my fingers on a keyboard seems unnatural. Mainly because most of my job is copying and pasting numbers. Sometimes i look at the keyboard to make sure i hit the write button, but most of the time i look at the screen and assume my fingers arent dumb...i mean hooves...i dont have fingers...

Have to wonder how RaRa plays piano or octavia the cello fingerboard, too...

I type with 8 of my fingers. I don't use my thumbs.

That's how I typed the sentence above (and this one) .

I plink away with one or two fingers per hand most of the time, but if I'm really cranking up the speed I can sometimes add a finger or two to the mix. I don't have any real structure to the method though; I just bluff my way through and try to avoid making typos on every other word. 

[Treeglow Flicker 13,619]

I sort of just mash my keyboard with a fist and hope for the best. Outside of that I just my index fingers.

[RDDash 19,168]

I type with a single hand mostly because I find it more efficient than trying to use both hands and failing miserably to type at the same speed.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I just put my hands on the keyboard and eventually find the keys that I am looking for.... I use all fingers for typing, but I don't lay them out like you're "Supposed to".

[Nsxile 26,898]

I use all ten fingers and don't even need to look at the keyboard 

[CypherHoof 26,482]

On a full qwerty keyboard, I can touch type (was formally taught as a teen)

On a phone though, strictly hunt and peck

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I use all 10 fingers. I've been told I type really fast and a bit hard.
