How do YOU correct typing errors? (2 Viewers)

[Soulfly3]

Just about blew a gasket trying to teach my mother something on the computer... Every time she had to correct an error, she would move the cursor (slower than molasses) to the error, highlight it, press delete, then fix the error...

Didnt matter how many quicker ways I showed her to fix the mistakes, she wasn't having it. Then I started thinking I likely dont do the quickest method either... maybe I do. I dunno.

Im a backspacer... I backspace to the error and rewrite the entire word from that point. Always have. always will. stubborn mule. like mother like son.

So how do you correct your errors, if at all??

I ctrl+arrow my way to it, then ctrl+shift+arrow (or just shift+arrow, depending) to highlight it, then type over it.

This, unless I'm only a few key strokes past the error, in which case I usually backspace my way to it and retype.

I notify people that I'm typing on a handheld device and ask that they excuse my typos.

I really don't. I have OCD so I need to make corrections and it annoys me when people have that signature.

I believe any "errors" are part of God's plan, and I wouldn't dream of ruining His creation.

White out

This is how I used to do it, but I got tired of buying new monitors every time the old one had too much of the screen whited out.

I Use the mouse to highlight and re-type....unless I just typed it and then I just backspace

 

[AAABatteries]

Depends on the device/app. If I'm in Microsoft Office apps I just keep typing and use the spell check to correct. Other apps highlight misspelled words so those I'll just go back and highlight/correct. All others I do it as I go.

Finish typing than go back and write click the words. Work's like a charm.

[MaxThreshold]

Waiting for SWC to respond to this. Can't wait.

 

[Jayrod]

I'm predominately a back-spacer. Only time I go to the mouse or arrows is if it is back at least 3 or more words.

This is correct. I find it's much faster.

We'd like to hear more about that, but first tell us about your typing.
