KTouch is a program for learning touch typing on a keyboard quickly and correctly. It is part of the KDE Education Project.

Description

KTouch is a program for learning touch typing. Every finger has its place on the keyboard with associated keys to press. Starting with only a few keys to remember you will advance through different training levels where additional keys are introduced. Because you no longer need to search for the keys on the keyboard you will be able to type quickly and accurately.

Features

• Support for many different training lectures
• Support for many languages including language specific text fonts
• Comfortable lecture editor
• Support for different keyboard layouts, with the ability to use user-defined layouts
• During training sessions comprehensive statistical informations are shown to help you analyze your progress

How to Add a Keyboard Layout to KTouch

KTouch comes with a number of pre-installed keyboard files. You can simply select the keyboard from the list in the main menu that matches your own keyboard layout. If you can't find a matching keyboard layout, you can either port an old one or make one from scratch. KTouch includes a dialog to make it easy for you.

If your keyboard layout is not in the KTouch -> Settings -> Keyboard Layouts list, it might have existed in early versions but have not been ported to the KDE SC 4.x version.
