===Hunt and peck=== '''Hunt and peck''' (''two-fingered typing'') is a common form of typing in which the typist presses each key individually. In the purest form of the method, the typist finds each key by sight on the fly, and uses only one or two fingers (typically the index fingers). Although good accuracy may be achieved, the use of this method may also prevent the typist from being able to see what has been typed without glancing away from the keys, and any [[typographical error|typing errors]] that are made may not be noticed immediately. Since only a few fingers are used in this technique, the fingers move much greater distances than in touch typing.
