hunt and peck

The phrase "hunt and peck" refers to a typing technique in which individuals use only a few fingers (usually one or two) to search for and press each key on a keyboard. It is a slower and less efficient method compared to touch typing, where typists use all their fingers and type without needing to visually locate each key. The term "hunt" indicates the searching or hunting for the keys, while "peck" refers to the pecking motion made by the fingers when pressing the keys individually.
