Topic: Are you considered a touch typist if you only use like three fingers to type?

But you can still bang out a good 45-50 WPM without looking at the keyboard? ?

I never use my pinkie or ring finger while typing. I taught myself how to type - I didn't learn in a class or anything. I also never use left shift, alt, or ctrl and I only hit the spacebar with my right thumb.

This actually hurts to think about.

I botched learning to type properly. I mostly have my right hand devoted to punctuation or the numeric keypad and it makes occasional forays onto the actual letter keys. Gaming and coding probably killed any chance I had of developing habits that would let me type like an actual typist.

Some older KDE setups required a left shift + insert for some paste functions and it always fucking threw me.
