I do not see the value in making your own ad hoc style, nor does being a decent typist support any such claim. The whole point of home row is that your fingers can ergonomically access every key on the keyboard without requiring you to move your entire hand, and that seems basically like a requirement to me to be able to actually type properly without looking at your keyboard. F and J are the only keys with bumps for a reason.
I am skilled as a typist - just pulled off an easy 150wpm with 100% accuracy on this keybr site - and I learned typing and piano starting at a young age. Seems like a bit of hubris to disregard tradition just because you can beat up on internet randoms on keybr.com
- userbinator 1y agoF and J make it easy to orient yourself, but the actual recommended fingering is not optimal for many keys and sequences. nor does being a decent typist support any such claim. Look at the scoreboards on typing sites like Typeracer and Monkeytype. There, 150 is decent, but nowhere near the top, with plenty of people averaging 200+, and a select few even manage to break 300wpm. Those near the top definitely do not use the standard fingering pattern.
