Ask HN: Should I teach my kids to type with QWERTY or Dvorak?
I&#x27;ll ask one question. Is someone really needs typing speeds over 200 keys&#x2F;minute? What task nowadays benefits from such speeds? Will these tasks keep being relevant in ten years?<p>As a programmer I do not need 200 chars&#x2F;minute. I believe that developed skills to use movement keys and key sequences, like arrow keys, Ctrl-arrows, Home, End, and others. For example, I struggle every time with a laptop keyboard, because Home&#x2F;End&#x2F;Delete are oddly placed and I miss them half of the times.
