Problem Keys: Building Targeted Typing Exercises

First confirm whether the error is repeated

One wrong press is not enough to indicate that a certain key is a long-term shortcoming. Take a look at the recent paragraphs of text in the same language to see if they always pause on the same characters or adjacent combinations. The value of question key exercises lies in focusing on personal difficulties. The official help of Typing.com also introduces the idea of ​​​​generating training based on wrong keys.

Don’t directly interpret high-frequency letters as being the most difficult because they have many errors. It might just show up more. Even if you don't have complete key statistics, you can combine your own observations and choose a difficult point with the most obvious impact.

Three layers of exercises each have their own effects

Single-key layer check positioning: whether the target key can be found stably. The combined layer checks for movement: whether there are errors when it is connected to the preceding and following characters. Check transfer at the essay level: can the action be maintained after focusing on the reading content. You don’t need to practice these three levels for a long time. Once the level is stable, leave time for the more difficult part.

For example, always pressing two adjacent letters in reverse, pressing a certain key repeatedly may not be useful. You should practice continuous movement in different relationships. It is also not suitable to practice only a single pinyin letter if you choose the wrong homophones in Chinese.

Don’t make special materials more and more difficult

Choosing a very rare word to contain a rare character will also increase the reading load. First verify the action with materials that are easy to understand, and then gradually expand. If you add a new batch of unfamiliar words every time for special exercises, it will be difficult for you to know whether the original shortcomings have been improved.

Today’s practice

Select a group of errors and prepare three lines of original short content: single keys or codes, short words, and complete sentences. After practicing slowly, change to a normal article. As long as there are fewer similar errors in normal content, keep this practice; if there is no change, recheck whether the problem actually comes from reading or input method settings.
