Keyboard Basics
The keyboard is divided into four zones: the Number Row at the top, three Letter Rows in the middle, Special Keys along the edges (Shift, Enter, Backspace, Tab, Caps Lock), and the Spacebar at the bottom.
The Home Row (A S D F J K L 😉 is where your fingers rest. The F and J keys have raised bumps — place your left index on F and right index on J as your anchor points for every keystroke.
🏠 The Home Row — Your Anchor
Left hand: A (pinky) · S (ring) · D (middle) · F (index) | Right hand: J (index) · K (middle) · L (ring) · ; (pinky)
F and J have raised bumps so your fingers always know where home is — without looking.
