Best Answer

The "home row" on the keyboard is where your hands should fall by default for touch typing. This row consists of asdfghjkl;. Your left hand fingers should lay on asdf and your right hand fingers should lay on jkl;. Home row numbers is a keyboard mapping popularized by the USPS data entry system in which the numbers 1 through 0 are mapped in order on the home row. The A key is also 1, the S key is also 2, etc. This allows the typing of numbers without lifting or moving the hands off of the home row, thus allowing for greater speeds and accuracy.

(some people its not faster for thought like me i do not use the home row i am slower on the home row)

As it is very small, there is no home row on the numeric keypad. What you will find is that the 5 key has a bump on it, like the F and J keys do on the main part of the keyboard. You use the 5 key as the way to identify where you are, in the same way as using the F and J keys to identify where you are by putting your index fingers on them.

The keys written out in bold will be the home keys.

So, A, S, D, F, J, K, L, and ; are the home keys.

Minor mistake here. So, the keys Z, X, C, V, B, M, N, and , are not supposed to be written in bold letters. So Z, X, C, V, B, N, M, and , are not the home keys.

For the standard QWERTY keyboard, the home row keys for your left hand are A, S, D, and F and for your right hand they are J, K, l, and ; with the thumbs resting on the space bar.
