Entering text digitally

Keyboarding is typing on a keyboard, especially as a skill taught in schools.

The term emerged as typewriters gave way to computers, making the older word "typing" seem dated.

The curriculum includes keyboarding and basic computer skills.

Someone proficient at keyboarding can type quickly and accurately without looking at the keys.
