    11:16 The reason for making noise as you are typing is that audible feedback confirms whether or not you've struck a key, if you struck a key one or two times, or when you have released the key. Hearing the audible feedback of the keys is vital when typing very fast. That is why IBM Model M keyboards with their mechanical buckling spring keys are highly desired by fast typists.

    For the "learn keyboard shortcuts" section, another fix for that is to do Ctrl + Right, which moves the cursor over one word left one word. Sometimes it will move differently depending on the editor, but it has the same movement as Ctrl + Backspace, just without deleting the word

      It's okay, I probably was slow at the start too but now I get like 80-90 wpm on average because i type a lot when gaming and also talking with friends on discord. My tip on getting a lot of wpm is just try typing a lot naturally. And it's okay if you aren't a fast typer not everyone is the same, also even though I type fast(111 wpm was my best) I personally find fast typing not that useful unless you are working somewhere where you need to type fast.

      Well it's not technically a linear function; generally speaking, according to the "power law of learning", learning processes can be displayed as a positive powerfunction; You learn a lot, relatively quickly and then it tapers off towards a certain "skill cap" which you can only reach by absolutely pushing yourself. That is when content becomes more complex and difficult, or when skills become more and more difficult to automate/perform. (i.e. where the "learning curve" starts to really get steep.) However, regarding progress: You do most progress relatively early on.
      Think about it: Say you were learning to play the guitar. You learn the basics in a few months, some more intermediate things follow that, and a few years of consistent daily practice, learning becomes slower and slower as the content "to be learned" becomes more and more advanced. It's like that with professional tennis players as well. They learned the majority of the skill within a few months very quickly, but the progress that sets them apart is done relatively slowly over the course of several years of practice. You can earn 60% of proficiency of a certain skill within months or a few years, but the other 40%, to truly make you a pro-guitarist or tennis player, will take you several years (if not at least 10 years, for extreme levels of skill, like professional musicians and tennis players).
      Same thing goes for forgetting content. The "power law of forgetting" postulates that you forget the majority of content very quickly at first, and it then slows down after a while, taking longer and longer to completely forget what you've learned. Forgetting can be displayed with a negative powerfunction.
      Same thing goes for typing. When you first start out, your speed can increase a lot within just a few months of practice, but after that, getting from say 130/140 words per minute to 150 (like Ali) will take you a lot more practice over a longer stretch of time. This is where an "increase" in your abilities (direct palpable improvements) start to taper off and slow down. You're still making progress, but at a slower rate than when you went from 40WPM to 80WPM within a few weeks.

    i can relate to alot of the things you pointed out in this video. I've practice typing almost every day for the past 3 years and my typing speed has gone up by almost 70 wpm, Ive learned keyboard shortcuts for windows (I do have a mac but dont feel like learning the shortcuts for it since i dont use it that often), the spotlight search that you do on mac, you can press the windows key and type the name of the program and press enter, then it will open. I've gotten used to typing on a mechanical keyboard and a laptop style keyboard, and can type slightly faster on a laptop keyboard. one thing i do though is i only use the left shift key and not the right one.

      Get yourself a really nice sounding keyboard. But before doing so ask your mate if they prefer clacky, clicky or thocky sounds and then chose your keyboard setup from this infromation.
      Then tastefully type infront of your mate something which sounds productive, then act as if you are stuck and ask them for assistance on how you can continue your text.
      That should work out

    Hey about the loud, forceful typing. I used to do that in my youth too. I typed VERY loudly, and over 110 wpm on dvorak. Annoyed the hell out of coworkers but it was just habit. The more in the flow I was, the louder, harder, faster it got. But as I aged (now mid-50s), I developed all kinds of RSI problems in the hands and fingers (not wrists), in spite of having always been heavily focused on proper ergonomic desk setup and posture. (And using two mice with alternating hands, the rare times I use them. And also augmenting keyboard with footpedals.)
    I've even had to switch to heavily modified ortholinear split programmable keyboards with ultra-light, very short throws, and had to design my own layout over several years.
    I believe that my very heavy, agressive typing was what caused my RSI, because there were no other complicating factors.
    The obsessive focus of ergo keyboards helped some, but what really turned things around was focusing on as light a touch possible, and keeping the fingers as close to the keys as possible. In general, moving the fingers themselves as little as possible, and using as little force as possible. It also ultimately helped me speed up. (I'm not yet back up to 110 wpm on my own radically different layout, but steadily climbing. Age/slower learning, and slowly improving RSI has definitely slowed the learning curve - not like it was when I could switch from 100 wpm on qwerty to 110 on dvorak in 1.5 years in my 30s. But I'm nearing 70 wpm.)
    Maybe you won't face that same fate, but just in case I'd strongly recommend making that adjustment now, just in case!

    I think I'm the only person who has this feature in chrome, since I've seen absolutely no one talk about this feature in the internet, the feature is: when you type in a website and press tab, it lets you search with that website.
    So for youtube, you just type youtube (or if it autofills for you, the better), then press tab, type the thing you want to search then click enter, it will redirect you to youtube with the results of your search.
    I've seen absolutely no one talk about this and it makes me sad to be honest. You can also add certain websites if it doesn't let you do it at first, but not all websites are compatible though especially if the thing your searching doesn't pop up in the address bar.

      what you're talking about is search engines. if you visit a website, sometimes they'll add a search engine for that website to your browser automatically. however you have to visit a website that was programmed to do that (e.g. a shopping website). otherwise, you can just make your own search engines. the cool thing is if you make your own search engines you can specify your own keywords. so for example for RUclips, my keyword is yt. whenever I type in yt in my browser, it switches to my RUclips search engine. browsers are meant for search engines and I think the real reason why people don't know about this is people the average person doesn't really understand what a search engine really is and how search engines aren't decided by the browser. in fact, if I wanted, I could use my address bar to search my RUclips search engine by default, only searching Google if I type in a keyword like gg.
      btw, a fun fact, you can use your browser address bar to go through your computer's file system as well
