I've been slowly trying thumbkey but seem to be struggling to get to the point where I feel comfortable using it over qwerty. I love the concept as I also hate using qwerty.... Yet I still seem more accurate using the crutch of autocorrect. With thumbkey I have to go back and correct more than I thought I would. I can kinda touch-type at a decent rate now but I definitely need more practice.
All of this is to ask: is there a point where I will be so comfortable as to not need to fear misspelling something without this crutch of autocorrect?
i'm trying it now as I love the idea, but how do I add capitals?
If it's created by the Lemmy devs, capital letters might not be included. Might have only communist and socialist letters :P
The key just to the left of the # key, i.e. the A key in the default Thumb-Key layout, should have a ▲ for the upward swipe. That swipe is how you get into shift mode. Swipe up on that key again to enter caps-lock; swipe down on that key to release the shift/caps-lock.
PERFECT Thank you.
I can't speak for how long it will take you specifically, but yeah, I absolutely think you can get to that point. I don't really remember how long it took me to learn, but it couldn't have been more than a few weeks, and I think I had some factors which were working to my advantage, anyways. Have you adjusted any of the settings?
