Anyone feel typing on the keyboard is a chore compared to typing on the phone with swipe enabled? - eviltoast

I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

    But your conclusion is faulty and the speed increase doesn’t just come from less jamming (which is now irrelevant anyway), but direclty from spacing out the letters.

    Typing consecutive letters next to each other often means you have to use the same finger and pressing multiple keys with the same finger is slower than using different fingers, as your “free” fingers can move into position in advance.
