    Does anyone have One Handed TypeFaster Lessons they would like to share?

    I have been through the lessons, and am up to about 35-40 wpm on TypeFaster. I feel my competency is improving well and am now over the 'hump' of doubt that seemingly affects a lot of people trying something new.

    I have read a bit on the forums about people doctoring up their own typing lessons and am wondering if anyone has doctored up some left hand or right hand TypeFaster lessons we could try out.

    My intuition tells me that this would be an excellent exercise for overcoming some of the legacy 'problem' left over from mi QWERTY days. 

    It would be much appreciated as the Colemak Lessons in TypeFaster are modest when it comes to variations in drills.

    Thankyou.

    NICE.... very nice... :)

    Thankyou very much. 

    Per chance, did you do these up after viewing this thread or have you had these for a while?

    A double Thank you at that!

    It would have been good practice.

    The reason I asked about such exercises is I read about differences in hand eye coordination between Left and Right hands.  By focusing on one hand (or predominantly on one hand) the brain is forced to concentrate more on the activity and so you are more likely reprogram old (in this case QWERTY) behaviour with the new pattern you are learning.

    I noticed that I was making mistakes when I was trying to type multiple character sequences with the one hand.  So, a 'same hand' character sequence would be really good practice.

    So, even though Colemak is designed to try and balance finger effort between hands, I thought that when it came to reprogramming existing conditioning, a single hand sequence would make good practice.

    What typing program do you use?

    Well thank you! I guess this explains part of my unexpected +9 WPM jump yesterday :-)

    I use ktouch for practice and hi-games.net for measuring my speed.

    I like KTouch  as well, it has a nice graphical interface.   I should use is more.

    Well, I don't partucularly like it, but it does the job.

    I've seen the thread, but I haven't tried the lessons yet.
