> I typically just use the index/middle finger on my left hand that covers most of the left hand side of the keyboard, depending on word (index might reach for the 'y' key sometimes) and the pinky for shift key. Right hand uses mostly the index, ring (for hitting backspace and enter) and thumb (for spacebar).
fwiw, you might be avoiding the ulnar nerve usage. Perhaps that makes things easier for your brain/cerebellum and spine, which then only have to coordinate movement in one nerve pathway.
- JohnMakin 1y agothat’s a really interesting point. What is, if any, the overhead of this coordination? I imagine it must be in the order of milliseconds or much much less but is something I never considered. And to some degree once it becomes instinctive muscle “memory” is there still this overhead?
