Keyboard home row
The keyboard base row, often called the "home row," is a crucial element in touch typing. The home row is the middle of the three main letter rows on the keyboard. In the US QWERTY keyboard layout, the home row contains the keys A, S, D, F, J, K, L, and the semicolon (;). In touch typing, you should place your fingers on these keys as the starting position, with the left-hand fingers resting on A, S, D, and F, and the right-hand fingers on J, K, L, and the semicolon (;). The F and J keys, where you place your index fingers, have raised marks that make it easier to find the home position without looking at the keyboard. From this starting position, your fingers can easily reach neighboring keys, allowing you to type smoothly and accurately. Learning to place your fingers on the keyboard home row is fundamental to improving typing speed and reducing errors while touch typing.
