A home row typing test measures how quickly and accurately you type using the keyboard’s home-row keys: A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L and semicolon. This test keeps the generated exercise focused on those keys so you can practise the starting finger position before moving to other rows.
Which keys are included?
