trace-typing is a hybrid typing method that combines traditional touch typing with a sliding gesture. It involves pressing individual keys for the initial characters of a word and then smoothly gliding a finger across the keyboard to complete said word. This technique enhances typing speed by reducing the need for discrete keystrokes, making it particularly useful on physical keyboards. It's worth noting that you cannot trace type on every word, as some words have letter not next to each other. Unlike traditional swipe typing, it is designed for use on physical keyboards NOT ON mobile devices.
