plusgut60137y@Jilano I would pass that. But I thought it means typing on a Smartphone, I would fail that.
What you described I would use the term blind typing. -
I'm kinda half touch typing. I'd love to be able to touch type. Wouldn't require a backlit keyboard then

Double-A4347yYou don't need to touch type as a dev because you are writing from your mind. You just need it to digitalize printed Texts, so you can keep your eyes on the paper.

I guess I would call it a non functional requirement -
@codePatrol Developers exist that think touch typing is a requirement? THAT's crazy

@qbalsdon I would be surprised if someone couldn't touch type after typing all day every day. I guess that's how I actually feel about it.
