hunt-and-pecker
Two-finger keyboard user
A hunt-and-pecker is someone who types by searching for each key individually and pressing it with one or two fingers, rather than touch-typing with all fingers on the home row.
The term is mildly disparaging, suggesting inefficiency: He's still a hunt-and-pecker after twenty years at a desk.
