Top Row Keys
⚙️ Settings
The top letter row sits one row above the Home Row. Your fingers must stretch upward to reach these ten letters, then immediately snap back home. The reach is not large — about 2 cm — but developing the snapping reflex makes the difference between smooth typing and awkward hesitation.
Your left pinky stretches from A up to Q. Left ring goes from S to W. Left middle from D to E. Left index covers both R (from F) and T (a slight rightward stretch). On the right, the index covers Y and U, middle covers I, ring covers O, and pinky reaches P.

There are real English words made entirely from top-row letters: type, your, write, quote, pure, route, tower, outer, power, ripe, rope, peer, prey, tour, true, tree, pour, tire, wire, tire, pyre, euro, rout. Practising these cements top-row muscle memory faster than drills alone.
