I touch type, and it helps, but knowing shortcuts is in MHO a much bigger deal. Any half decent IDE should be able to complete your typing so that you save 90% keystrokes anyway, for the rest the limiting factor is how quickly I can type.

However it drives me up the wall when coworkers don't know the short-cuts.
