Touch typing lesson 14: f→b, j→n

Left-hand typing rules for lesson 14

The character "b" can be typed by pressing the key "B" while holding the keys Alt and Shift. We press the keyboard key "B" by moving the finger from the key "F" to "B".

After typing the letters, the left-hand fingers should naturally return to their base position in the keyboard home row (where the CapsLock key is located).

The character "n" can be typed by pressing the key "N" while holding the keys Alt and Shift. We press the keyboard key "N" by moving the finger from the key "J" to "N".

After typing the letters, the right-hand fingers should naturally return to their base position on the keyboard.

Touch typing as a hobby

Touch typing is not a typical hobby, and that can be part of its appeal. Learning to type without looking at the keyboard is often seen as a practical activity, but it can also be enjoyable in its own right. It may not evoke the same excitement as sharing stories about a thrilling game or an engaging programming project with friends, but improving your typing can be satisfying. Learning touch typing can be a personal challenge: you set yourself a goal and work towards mastering a useful skill. While the typing lessons may sometimes seem tedious, noticing steady progress and putting the skill to use can make the practice worthwhile. If you enjoy the rhythm of keystrokes and trying to type more fluently, touch typing can be a rewarding hobby.
