00:54 | Here, we are using Tux Typing 1.8.0 on Ubuntu Linux 11.10. |
01:02 | You can install Tux Typing using the Ubuntu Software Centre. |
01:07 | For more information on Ubuntu Software Centre, please refer to the Ubuntu Linux Tutorials on this website. |

01:34 | The Tux Typing icon appears beneath the Search box. |
01:39 | Click the 'Tux Typing' icon. |
01:42 | The Tux Typing window appears. |
01:46 | The Tux Typing comprises the following menus: |
01:50 | Fish Cascade – a gaming zone

01:56 | Lessons – comprises different lessons that will teach us to learn characters. |
02:01 | Options – Comprises menus that help us to edit words, learn to type phrases, get information on the tux typing project and set up the language. |
02:13 | Quit – click to quit the game. |
02:16 | Let us practice to type using the Lessons. |
02:20 | In the Main menu, click Lessons. |
02:23 | The window comprising the lesson appears. |
02:26 | Let us start by learning the first lesson. |
02:30 | Click "basic_lesson_01.xml". |
02:35 | The window comprising the instructions appears. Read the instructions. |
02:41 | To start the lesson, let us press the space-bar. |
02:45 | The window displaying the keyboard, appears. |
02:48 | We will now start learning to type the letter 'a'. |
02:52 | Press 'p' to start practicing. |
02:56 | A window that displays the characters to type, appears. |
03:01 | What does this line displaying ‘aaa aaa…..’ mean? |
03:07 | You are required to type these letters. |
03:10 | Let us name this line as "Teacher’s line". |
03:13 | We now see the English keyboard which is the standard keyboard used by most of us. |
03:19 | Do you see the red square around 'A'? It indicates that it is the character that you have to type now. |
03:27 | The first line of the keyboard displays numerals, special characters and the backspace key. |
03:35 | You press the backspace key to delete typed characters. |
03:39 | The keyboard also has three rows of alphabets, numerals and other characters. |
03:51 | The second line of the keyboard comprises alphabets, few special characters and the Enter key. |
03:58 | You can press the Enter key to go to the next line. |
04:02 | The third line of the keyboard comprises alphabets, colon/semicolon and Caps Lock key. |
04:10 | Use the Caps Lock key to type capital letters. |
04:14 | The fourth line of the keyboard comprises alphabets, special characters and shift keys. |
04:21 | Press the shift key together with any other alphabet key to type capital letters. |
04:27 | Press the Shift key with any other key to type a character given at the top of the key. |
04:34 | For example, the key with the numeral 1 has the exclamation mark on top. |
04:39 | To type the exclamation mark, press the Shift key together with 1. |
04:44 | The fifth line of the keyboard comprises the Ctrl, Alt and Function keys. It also contains the space bar. |
04:52 | Now, let us see if there are differences between the Tux Typing keyboard, laptop keyboard and desktop keyboard. |
05:00 | Notice that the Tux Typing keyboard and the keyboards used in desktops and laptops are similar. |
05:10 | Now, let’s see the correct placement of our fingers on the keyboard. |
05:14 | Look at this slide. |
05:16 | It displays the fingers and their names. Fingers, from left to right, are named: |
05:21 | Little finger,Ring finger |
05:24 | Middle finger,Index finger and Thumb. |
05:27 | On your keyboard place your left hand on the left side of the keyboard. |
05:32 | Ensure that the Little finger is on the alphabet 'A', |
05:35 | Ring finger is on the alphabet 'S', |
05:38 | Middle finger on the alphabet 'D', |
05:41 | Index finger on the alphabet 'F'. |
05:44 | Now, place your right hand on the right side of the keyboard. |
05:49 | Ensure that the Little finger is on the colon/semi-colon keystroke, |
05:54 | Ring finger on the alphabet 'L' |
05:56 | Middle finger on the alphabet 'K', |
06:00 | Index finger on the alphabet 'J'. |
06:03 | Use your right thumb to press the space-bar. |
06:08 | The two hand images will guide you to use the right finger to type the character. |
06:14 | Wondering what the red circle of the left-hand little finger is? |
06:19 | Your guess is right. You need to use that finger to type 'a'. |
06:23 | Place your fingers on the keyboard as indicated earlier in the lesson. |
06:29 | Now, let us start typing. |
06:32 | As we type, the characters are displayed in the line below the Teacher’s line. |
06:39 | Let us name this the Student’s line. |
06:42 | Now, let’s type a character that is not displayed in the teacher’s line. |
06:47 | Do you see that mistyped character displayed in the student’s line? It is not displayed. |
06:53 | Instead, an 'X' mark briefly appears on the mistyped character on the keyboard. |
06:59 | Let’s type a few more letters. |
07:02 | Now, let us collect the metrics of our typing. |
07:07 | By now, you would have guessed what the fields on the left hand side indicate. |
07:13 | Time – specifies the speed of your typing. |
07:17 | Chars – indicates the number of characters typed by you. |
07:21 | CPM - indicates the characters per minutes typed by you. |
07:26 | WPM – specifies the number of words typed by you. |
07:31 | Errors – indicates the number of errors typed by you. |
07:34 | Accuracy – indicates the accuracy of your typing. |
07:40 | Press the Escape key twice to go back to the main menu. |
07:45 | We have learnt our first typing lesson! |
07:47 | It is a good practice to first learn to type accurately at lower speeds. |
07:52 | Once we learn to type accurately, without mistakes, we can increase the typing speed. |
07:59 | This brings us to the end of this tutorial on Tux Typing. |
