I used no tutors or something like this. Just did two things: 1. Printed programming dvorak keyboard layout and hanged it below the monitor. 2. Changed used layout to programming dvorak so I have no keys to look at on the keyboard. As a first excercise then I was typing my password with 30-seconds limit in linux framebuffer (I did not know about the limit though, but that did not make me give up) (by “linux framebuffer” I mean kernel <C-A-F1..6> terminals (on most systems, it is generally possible to make X server occupy some terminal above or below <C-A-F7>)). Was unable to complete any tutors I tried since then because they were mostly dumb. Actually writing something useful is the best practice. Though I know where can I find a lot of people which can type faster then I… if they have something to type: thinking speed is more limiting then typing speed. > > Thanks! > > -- > -- > You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. > Do not top-post!
