Go to 8:38 of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d9NW-9Pvp2w&t=516s

Is this typing speed even technically possible? I'm using a superslim keyboard, keys have a very short travel distance after pressing, but I don't think it's techncally possible to type this fast. Maybe the video is edited. Or am I wrong on this?

Autosuggest? Heh, the average speed is quite low due to pauses.

Here is my single-handed speed of 400 keys per minute:

The creator of the video explains in the comments that for the purposes of the video they used a keyboard macro to enter the text.
