To ensure proper finger placement when typing, follow these steps:
Place your left hand on the home row keys "ASDF" with your fingers resting on "A", "S", "D", and
"F".
Place your right hand on the home row keys "JKL;" with your fingers resting on "J", "K", and
"L".
Keep your wrists straight and relaxed, and your forearms parallel to the ground.
Your middle fingers should rest on the "D" and "K" keys, respectively.
Your index fingers should rest on the "F" and "J" keys, respectively.
Your ring fingers should rest on the "G" and "H" keys, respectively.
Your pinkies should rest on the "A" and "; (or colon)" keys, respectively.
Remember to keep your fingers on the home row at all times and only use the other keys when
necessary. With practice, you will be able to type quickly and accurately using proper finger
placement.
To find the "F" and "J" keys on a keyboard without looking, follow these steps:
Place your left hand on the home row keys "ASDF" with your fingers resting on "A", "S", "D", and
"F".
Place your right hand on the home row keys "JKL;" with your fingers resting on "J", "K", and
"L".
Use your index fingers to feel for the raised dots or bumps on the "F" and "J"
keys. These dots or
bumps are called "tactile markers" and are designed to help you find the correct keys without
looking.
Once you have found the "F" key with your left index finger, your left hand should be in the
correct
position for typing.
Once you have found the "J" key with your right index finger, your right hand should be in the
correct position for typing.
With practice, you will be able to find the "F" and "J" keys on the keyboard without looking.
This
will allow you to type more quickly and accurately with proper finger placement.
