Are you tired of your hands typing in the air? Sick of that typing sound?

Maybe you type and delete a lot like I do (it’s the editor in me) so it seems your hands are always moving even if no text comes out.

Maybe you want to have lots of pictures of your avatar and the typing animation spoils the shot.

Whatever your reason there is a solution.

How to Stop Your Hands From Typing

1. Go into the “advanced” menu.

2. Choose “debug settings.”

3. Type in PlayTypingAnim and set it to FALSE.

That’s it. No more typing in mid air!
