Let me share some fun facts and thoughts regarding touch typing.

Typing numeric keys

Numeric keys, occupying their place at the top keyboard row, are indispensable tools for various tasks, from studying, browsing, accounting, and data entry to coding and gaming. A dedicated numeric pad that occupies the right-hand keyboard area is often a prominent feature in full-sized keyboards, making number input much faster and more convenient. Efficiently typing numeric keys according to touch typing rules can be a bit of a stretch when moving the fingers from the home row position to the upper row. However, mastering this skill is rewarding, significantly boosting typing comfort. Whether you're a programmer writing lines of code or an accountant crunching numbers, numeric key proficiency ensures you navigate your keyboard with ease and precision. So, while these keys may seem less important than those with letters, learning to type numbers makes your touch typing skills more comprehensive. You do not limit yourself to the primary keys, and if you master typing numeric keys, you will never have to look at the keyboard while typing them.
