except for [...] all sorts of "writers" - yes, there is no need for a numpad.

You make a bad concession in discussion. As a writer of digit- and arithmetics-heavy texts, I do need a numpad.

if you are not using latex than your writings are not arithmetics-heavy - and latex is more text than numbers.
also learn to properly blind type and use all your ten fingers on numbers row. should've done that long ago if you are writing.

That my blind typing is not, and never will be, as fast as of a secretary is my disadvantage. Numpads are great to compensate such.

man, why did you post it, there's clearly almost no numbers and clearly ZERO evidence that you need a numpad.
lmao i even wanted to run it through symbol calculator but it didn't let me select all text.
you don't need numpad for this.

playing with touchtype trainer app or website would be a better time spent than writing these comments then lmao

Arithmetics is the thing using + - * /

Now look at your numpad. Only has digits? Then it is not a proper numpad.

[lmao]

Arithmetics is the thing using + - * /

so you think moving your hand to +/- after every two letters despite you have +/- right there in the number row justifies a numpad? you are slowing yourself down.
get a 6x% keyboard and teach yourself to type properly instead of demanding twenty useless buttons just because.

Robert, what's the point of arguing with this dude? He probably never wrote a single program in his entire life. He doesn't even know what professional software development is, he just saw it from the outside.

lmao please don't talk about programming anymore, after you've said programmers need numpad to NAVIGATE it's clear you are not one of us lmao
