Can I use the verbs given with 'on a computer'?

[learning54]

Hi Teachers,
Can I use the verbs given with 'on a computer'? Are there any others with the same meaning?
What is she doing now? She is working on / typing on a computer.

Thanks in advance

For me "working on a computer" is fine. "Typing on a computer" doesn't quite work though I can't really tell you why because "typing on a typewriter" would have been absolutely fine.

Maybe "typing on a computer keyboard" sounds better.

For some reason, I don't really equate typing in that regard with computers.

- Did she type it at home?
- No, she wrote it on the computer at the library.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
Will it be fine to say, 'She is writing on the computer'?
