    How do you actually learn it? I always assumed it just comes naturally after typing enough.

      Nope, you sit down and learn it.

      If you wanted to learn, I would find a typing game and keep playing until you can hit any key without looking. If you still weren’t learning, I’d put paper over your hands so you couldn’t look down and cheat

      So if you want this skill, find a typing game and don’t cheat. It’s that simple… It doesn’t even take that long, maybe 10 hours total? Maybe even less

          Well… I didn’t mean straight. You play a typing game for 20 minutes occasionally, honestly you could probably just do that every day for a week and pick it up

          And while you are proving my point perfectly, there’s advantages if you were to put in a little time… You make less typos and get better at power user features if you learn the positions
