For example, the middle finger on your left hand can easily reach the E, C, and 3 keys. Each finger controls certain keys in the area around the home row. You can move individual fingers around the keyboard to hit different keys, but keep any fingers you aren’t actively using on the home row letters. These letters make up the home row, which is the default position your fingers take when you’re typing. Place your right hand’s fingers on the J, K, L, and semicolon keys. To type, start by placing the four fingers on your left hand on the A, S, D, and F keys.
