EXPLANATION
CORRECT FINGER POSITION ON THE HOME KEYS.
The four fingers excluding the thumb of the left hand are placed on “asdf” while the four fingers of the right hand are placed on”;lkj”. It is from here that the fingers move up and down the entire keyboard. “asdf and; lkj” are therefore called home keys. First of all, master the keyboard to know the positions of the keys, and then type without looking at the keyboard but the copy.
CORRECT FINGER MOVEMENT ON THE HOME KEYS.
After placing the fingers on the home keys, the fingers should strike a key at a time to avoid key jam. The two little fingers are used to strike the guide keys (a & ;). The remaining fingers on the left except the left and right thumb are used to strike “sdf” while the rest fingers on the right hand are used to strike “lkj”.
