Hi,

I'm new to this community and I just wanted to ask that is there any typing software that can be used by coder to improve the typing speed or any industry that can provide typing software according to the keyboards that coder use.

I hope I'll get some valuable information here. Thanks in advance.

What I have tried:

I have tried many other software they can improve typing speed but to improve coding speed I need some customized typing software.

You are coding faster than you can type?
Can't believe that.

Coding and typing are skills.
So how about taking part in a typing course?

Use a programming editor or IDE. Those have features for auto completion like Visual Studio's Intellisense and may provide options for your own shortcuts (macros).

You should also learn the shortcuts for the used editor. While that does not reduce typing it reduces mouse usage (e.g. for copy and paste / move).

AFAIK, there is no software specifically designed to speed up a developers code typing - there are many general typing speed improvers both free and paid: Google will find you plenty with a simple search, but some free ones include TypingClub[^], Klavaro Touch Typing Tutor[^], and Rapid Typing[^]. I can't vouch for any of 'em - I used "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing" a very long time ago - but any improvement in general typing speed is going to speed up coding quite a lot.

You can also use different keyboards - I'm a lot faster on my "usual" keyboard than I am on the WookieTab keyboard because I know where the keys are and how hard I have to press them. Some people swear by Dvorak keyboards[^] - others swear at 'em - they were designed to speed up typing, but going from them to a QWERTY layout or vice versa is a brain fuddler. If you want others to avoid using your computer like the plague, get a Devorak keyboard...:laugh:

Funnily enough there is an on-line typing tutor specifically designed for developers - it uses real code and all the attendant symbols that are a pain to type quickly.

It's free but you do have to sign in (via Google) - Typing Practice for Programmers | typing.io[^]
