I took a year of typing in high school. I'm a passable touch typist, but I also learned a lot about formatting letters and reports in the class. That knowledge has served me well in real life. When I was still working, I was surprised how few of my co-workers could touch type, even though they spent much of their day typing.
For almost thirty years much of my work was in the UNIX operating system. The standard UNIX text editor is called "vi" and is an anachronism from back in the days before computer keyboards had keys to position the cursor. They were basically teletype keyboards, so there were no arrow keys, and no page up/down, home or end keys. They had just the standard typewriter keys, plus "ctrl" and "esc". So when using vi, everything is done using just those keys: cursor position, page up/down, search, open, close and save are all done using the letter keys plus ctrl and esc. I got to where I was very fast with vi, and just like a touch typist only has to think of a word and it appears on the page, when I edit a file in vi I don't consciously think of what I need to do to move around in the file. It's just an extension of my touch typing.
