I had a conversation about typing just yesterday. And alternative keyboards and whatnot. Qwerty seems to work for me, though.
(Wow. That was good.)

Aww, when I'm writing I usually change my mind halfway through the sentence, but I can't really go back and change the sentence when my eyes are closed lol.
((I love how "see" turned into "aww" XD))

What happens when you try to incorporate accents into your typing? Saying things like "raison d'être", for example, ,ales ot a bot jarder.
(("makes it a bit harder," but i'm surprised that actually worked <<))

Yeesh, I can hardly speak French as it is without having to add all the accents into the mix. xD If you memorize the alt codes it might not be so bad, though.

If you have accent hotkeys it's a bit more your metiér, I'd also think.

Tiis is going to be incredibly utterly awgi; amd a;sp ueaj/

That is supposed to say "this is going to be incredibly utterly awful, and yeah". (Which is interesting, as I actually thought my touch-typing skills were getting better!) (I think I just got a bit disorientated towards the end)

I have no trouble touch-typong, the problem is when I want to say something else instead of what I wanted to say initially. I write stream-pf-consciousness, see, so if I change y mind about something, I cannot undo it. It's what PFA said earlier. I have the same problem.

I can't even type accents on a keyboard normally, much less doing it with my eyes closed. xD I don't have the command memorized.

I had the command memoriezed for a brief time, but have since forgotten it :'XD
(Whoops, that was supposed to be a XD face and got messed up by an attempt to backspace after I changed my mind from wanting to make a frowney face. Incidentally, the whole reason I changed my mind was because I couldn't find the parentheses by touch, lol)

Well, I know that é is alt+130, thanks to Pokémon, so that's a helpful one to remember. And a bunc of other ones from when I took French via distance in high school.
(Also, awkward moment when you're not sure if you hit the key hard enough and can't double-check...)

It's also 0233 but I can't do the plus sign for the life of me.

It's also 0233 but I can't do the plus sign for the life of me. If you have a standard numpad, the + is the tall vertical one to the right of the numbers and just above the Enter button, so if you can't remember where the typical one is (next to the backspace) you could use that one.
