Work gets done comfortable fast, but I wonder whether I should try and force myself to learn how to touch type properly.
In my opinion, no. It always amuses me when somebody wants to learn to
touch-type just to learn touch-type. If one really needs it (i.e. writes a lot
on a keyboard), they'll learn it soon enough just from the practice.
That said, you may grow with time using more of your fingers. It may even be
because you decided to try using those fingers that otherwise were idle
(maybe one at a time; that was my case). But forcing yourself to learn?
I would say it's not worth the hassle.
What actually matters to me is how fast I type and how accurate it is. You may
want to check your results in some on-line test. If you have typing speed
average or better, don't bother with specifically learning more.
