Spot sort to use a keyboard (5-4)
I believe the answer is:
touch-type
'use a keyboard' is the definition.
(as in touchtyping on a keyboard)
'spot sort' is the wordplay.
'spot' becomes 'touch' (synonyms).
'sort' becomes 'type' (type is a kind of sort).
'touch'+'type'='TOUCH-TYPE'
'to' acts as a link.
(Another definition for touch-type that I've seen is " Use a keyboard without looking".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
