Yep. I learned in high school business class while some learn by having to do it. The typing and shorthand I took way back then still occupy a space in my head and are recalled easily.
No. At least….not on my laptop. My laptop’s keyboard geometry and angle throws me off juuuust enough that I can’t do the number row with accuracy. I can do SOME of the specials without looking, but not all, and not on this keyboard. I used to do better on a regular desktop setup.
