Left-hand typing rules for lesson 1
The character "f" can be typed by pressing the key "F" while holding the keys Alt and Shift.
The character "d" can be typed by pressing the key "D" while holding the keys Alt and Shift.
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).

Keyboard home row
The keyboard base row, often called the "home row," is a crucial element in touch typing. The home row is the one located in the keyboard's middle. In the case of the standard 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 keys where index fingers should lie (keys F and J) contain bumps, making it easier for the fingers to return to their base position on the keyboard home row. This strategic placement allows for efficient and accurate typing, as the fingers can easily reach neighboring keys, facilitating a smoother and faster typing experience. Mastering finger placement on the keyboard base row is fundamental for improving typing speed and minimizing errors while touch typing.
