Quick Typing

"e;This book is one of the fruits of the author's more than 30 years of learning and teaching computer science. Its compilation and publication aim to promote standard keyboard fingering and efficient Chinese and English keyboard input methods, warmly recommending the Wangma Five-Stroke Input Method (New Century Edition), invented and improved by Wang Yongmin, a senior Chinese engineer and recipient of the title 'Reform Pioneer.' The book is concise and illustrated, consisting of three interconnected chapters and appendices. Chapter 1 briefly introduces the meaning of typing, standard posture, keyboard zoning, and the names and functions of keys in each zone. Chapter 2 briefly introduces the fingering for each keyboard zone, focusing on guiding fingering training for the numeric keypad and main keyboard zones. Through repeated training, readers can type English text accurately and quickly without looking at the keyboard. Chapter 3 briefly introduces the Wangma Five-Stroke Input Method (New Century Edition), covering the purchase and installation of supporting software and the essentials of this input method, including some unique insights from the author. It does not involve excessive memorization of second- and third-level simplified codes and special symbol encodings. Based on proficient fingering skills on the main keyboard zone, readers can, through necessary understanding, memorization, and training of this input method, type Chinese text accurately and quickly without looking at the keyboard. The appendices list the Wangma Five-Stroke Input Method (New Century Edition) encodings for about 7,000 commonly used Chinese characters in pinyin order for readers to consult when encountering difficult-to-type characters. This book can serve as supplementary material or extracurricular training material for information technology courses in primary and secondary schools, and as a reference book for college and university students as well as members of all sectors of society who wish to improve their Chinese and English typing skills."e;
