Lessons work best with a physical keyboard. The full finger guide appears on tablets and wider.
About this lesson
These are the last two keys of the letter rows. One of them is the longest reach an index finger makes, and it is a common place for the wrong hand to take over.
Stick to the finger shown in the guide. Once this lesson is passed, every key on the three letter rows has a finger that owns it.
Hand position
- The centre keys of the bottom row are typed by the index fingers.
- Reach down and inwards in one movement.
- One of these two is a long stretch; let the hand shift a little rather than straining the finger.
On a US (QWERTY) keyboard this lesson's keys are B and N. Lessons follow key positions, so on another layout the same fingers practise the keys that sit in the same places. It takes about 3 minutes: six short lines, passed at 92% accuracy. Speed is not part of the pass mark.
