Specific touch typing software

Karlovsky120 · April 4, 2018

I've been learning to touch type for a month or so now, using this awesome website: https://www.typingclub.com/

Seriously, if you want to learn how to touch type, this is awesome.

However, I also code a lot and seem to be quite slow with the symbols, which are most of the code. While there are exercises that make me use the symbols, I'd like something more coding oriented.

I'm looking for a software that behaves similarly to the page I linked, but that allows me to input a chunk of text of my own choosing to type out. That way I could copy various pieces of code and practice on that.

I'm aware I can just type the code on my own, but this makes it more fun for me and accelerates the learning process.

If you're unaware of existence of such software, do you know where else I could ask? I couldn't find a single touch typing specific forum.

When I was learning how to type, I'd just open up a text document and type for maybe 15-20 minutes.

I haven't seen/heard of any sites that'll let you input your own text to type out.

i'd honestly just find some easy projects and crunch out code. there's plenty of ideas out there that are easy enough to code for you to just type trough them, and are of sufficient length to keep you going.

besides, i'd call efficient programming at least equally important as fast typing, so maybe some practisce on that end isnt bad either
