I'm learning to touch type bros, I've picked up some pretty nasty habits when typing, so it's prob going to take quite a while to get used to.
How long did it take you to ingrain that shit into your muscle memory?

Just travel back to 2002 and get an asian Canadian online gf, that's how I learned.

I never learned touch typing and typed with hunt and peck for all my life. even while I worked in IT. about 3 years ago I decided to change that.
I just went on keybr.com and it took me about 9 hours of practicing over about week and a half to get it down.
my biggest problem was that I would get bored as fuck while practicing, so I quit multiple times before. the thing that changed everything was listening to an audiobook at the same time. this allowed my conscious brain to focus on the book, while my motor functions were learning where all the letters were. by the time I was halfway through the book, I could touch type.
these are my stats from when I stopped practicing,

I'm glad I helped you learn how to type user but I'm not actually Asian, Canadian, or a girl. I'm a (currently) 56-year-old pedophile living in Thailand, but obviously born in the UK.
foo I'm so glad I got that off my chest! It's been haunting me for 20 years.

buy split keyboard, it will force you to learn how to type correctly

I did it completely in a couple months.
I started out by forcing myself to use Dvorak on a split ergonomic board for a while. Helped me quickly break my existing muscle memory, and start fresh with correct finger positioning.
Then I switched back to qwerty and re-learned the layout, but with the better habits that I had picked up.
Most of the time was spent just recovering speed. I started out at 150 WPM, and now I touch type at around 140 WPM. So not quite there even still, but it's more comfortable.

Just start typing everything without looking at the keyboard. You can try blank key caps if you cheat a lot. Or get an ergonomic keyboard. It will force yourself to type properly.

The speed comes from learning common sequences of letters you can do in a sort of rolling motion with multiple fingers at a time. Kind of like Swype on a touchscreen. Eventually you just mash the entire word into existence with very little delay between keystrokes. I'm qwerty though, I wonder if dvorak is actually better for this.
