hunt-and-peck is a term used to describe a typing style where the typist looks at the keyboard and searches for individual keys, then types them one by one. This style is slow and laborious, and can lead to many errors. Some common synonyms for "hunt-and-pecks" are "one-fingered typing," "chicken pecking," and "two-fingered typing." Other variations include "finger searching," "poking and prodding," and "slow-motion typing." All of these terms refer to the same inefficient typing style that can be improved by learning touch typing, a skill that involves typing without looking at the keyboard.
