Recently I’ve decided to learn how to type with 10 fingers, so I’ve started using KTouch for learning it. I chose the predefined lesson for the Italian keyboard, and I really enjoyed it.

Today I was working on a deck when finally I’ve decided to solve an annoying problem who was nagging me since long time.
