I feel swipe to type should be an option on laptops. Using keys to type is slow compared to swiping across alphabets. Remove the physical keyboard and put a 6" to 10" lcd with touch input on it.

    TIL people actually use, and like, swipe typing.

    I much prefer real keys I can feel being pressed. I don’t even know how swiping would be faster unless you just can’t type. In which case: learn home row, ffs.

      I’ve use swype on mobile for probably about a decade. I find it’s way faster than clicking individual keys on a touchscreen. but to think it would be faster than a physical keyboard is wild to me!

      My partner and my mom both use swipe, I guess I thought it was more common. Meanwhile I would rather walk over to my computer and use a desktop version if possible if it’s anything more than a sentence here and there.
