It occurs to me that because we use both hands, the way we type is inherently ‘asynchronous’. For example, when trying to type(‘the’), the individual ‘function calls’, typechar(‘t’), typechar(‘h’), typechar(‘e’) may be initiated (i.e. fingers begin moving towards their target keys) in that order, but there’s no guarantee they are terminated (i.e. fingers hitting their target keys) in that order, because typechar(‘h’) is performed with the right hand whereas typechar(‘e’) is performed with left, so typechar(
I‘ve been playing the guitar for very long, and it occurred to me that physical health correlates with my ability to synchronize both hands. Having a steady hand helps tremendously with that IME. I noticed e.g. when I quit drinking (even occasionally) that I got way better at this. While typing, I also started stumbling way less over complicated words at that time.
