Touch typing (also called
touch type or
touch method or
touch and type method) is
typing without using the sense of
sight to find the keys. Specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through
muscle memory. Touch typing typically involves placing the eight fingers in a horizontal row along the middle of the keyboard (the
home row) and having them reach for other keys. Both two-handed touch typing and
one-handed touch typing are possible.
