In today’s article, we have explained in detail what finger has to be placed over what key.

Starting with the Home row, it is the middle row of keys on the keyboard and contains A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, and ; keys. It is important to always place fingers over home keys, and from this position, you should reach any other key. To easily locate the Home row, most keyboards provide visible bumps on J and F keys.

The next important keys row is the top row. It is the row just above the home row and includes the keys Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, P, [, ], and \ . You have to raise your fingers to type letters from the top row. The third keys row is the Bottom Row. It is the row just below the home containing keys Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, , and . (period). You have to bring down your fingers to type letters from the bottom row.

Likewise, each finger is used for a vertical column of keys, which you may call the “Home column“. Both index fingers are required to take care of an additional column. The F finger is responsible for additional keys i.e. B, G, T, 5. Similarly, the J finger is responsible for N, H, Y,6. To press Spacebar, use the right or left thumb.

Although pinkies (little fingers) are small but are required to perform more in touch typing. The left-hand pinky has to type all keys on the left side of its home column i.e. Esc, Tilde, Tab, Caps Lock, Shift, Ctrl, and other keys. Similarly, the right-hand pinky is responsible for all the keys on the left side of its home column.
