Hey Joel,
Don't try to type it correctly, try to view it as a finger trick on
the cube.
I use QWERTY and I did this,
Start with left hand ring finger on "A", left hand index finger on "D"
right hand index finger on "C" and right hand middle finger on "B".
Now press the keys in order and then press "E" with you left index
then drag your right index finger over "F" "G" and "H" hitting all
three, then hit "I" with your left index while pausing your right
index finger. Once you've hit "I" continue dragging your right index
finger over "J" "K" "L" hitting all three.
Then I drag for "M" and "N" then also for "O" and "P" then for Q-Z I
just hit the keys alternating left and right hand fingers. That's the
part I don't have a routine for, and the end is much slower than my
beginning.
I can see how doing it with dragging for hitting groups of nearby keys
can help. For example if you have to hit "Q" then "R" then "S" just
drag your left index from "Q" to "R" hitting all keys in between then
drag back over "E" then diagonal to "S".
Don't worry that you hit more keys, the program has no penalty for
this and also you can hit them faster this way than by conventional
typing.
Just my thoughts, no idea how to get this under 2 seconds. I imagine
you have to use a better routine than what I do.
Also I like the idea of mapping the keyboard to ABCDEFGH and just
dragging a finger across each row, hitting all keys in 0.1 seconds or
something :-) But of course that would be cheating.
I wonder if QWERTY or DVORAK would be faster, which has keys grouped
together well for dragging your finger across them?
Either way this is fun, it's like trying to find a fast way to do a
cube PL alg, we have the moves, now how do we do them quickly?
