Are there any developer productivity blogs that focus on tools for faster typing, refactoring, and daily programming?

Yes — there are several good developer-productivity blogs and sites that regularly cover tools and workflows for faster typing, refactoring, and day-to-day programming.

A few worth checking out:

• JetBrains Blog / IntelliJ tips
  Great for refactoring workflows, keyboard shortcuts, and IDE productivity.

• Visual Studio Code Blog
  Useful for editor features, extensions, and speed-up tips for coding, navigation, and refactoring.

• Stack Overflow Blog
  Occasionally covers productivity tools and developer workflow improvements.

• Dev.to
  Search for tags like productivity, vscode, vim, intellij, refactoring, and developer-tools.

• Hacker News “Show HN” posts
  Not a blog, but a good place to discover new typing tools, code editors, snippet managers, and refactoring utilities.

• The Pragmatic Engineer
  More engineering-focused, but often includes practical workflow and productivity topics.

• Rands in Repose
  Sometimes covers personal workflow, tooling, and engineering productivity.

If you specifically mean blogs centered on speed tools like:

• typing assistants,
• keyboard-driven coding,
• snippet managers,
• refactoring shortcuts,
• command palette workflows,

then you may also want to follow:

• Vim/Neovim blogs and newsletters
• Emacs blogs
• Clean Code / refactoring-focused blogs
• IDE vendor blogs (JetBrains, Microsoft, GitHub)

If you want, I can also give you:
