Interesting.  Maybe my typing has moved further down out of my
conscious, or maybe I'm just better at detached introspection, but I
find it perfectly possible to watch myself typing without disrupting
it.  One thing I find intersting is that the pipeline appears to be
something like six keystrokes long.  Another is that I type words, not
letters, to some extent; when I make a mistake, it's easier and usually
quicker to delete the whole word and retype it, rather than try to fix
it, even if it's a long word like "integrated" or "impossible".
