Best Answer

The home keys on the keyboard make typing more efficient because the other fingers then know where to be while typing. The home keys are "F" and "J" on the letter keyboard and "5" on the number keypad.

When typing on laptop sometimes the cursor will backtrack and start typing in between words already typed. Very annoying...what is causing this?

When I do this it's because my wrist catches the touch pad below the keyboard. Avoid it by lifting your hands above it or place something over the touch pad while typing.

What is the difference between hunt and peck and touch typing?

With hunt and peck, you have to look at the keyboard because you don't know where the letters are and you have to hunt for them. Usually, this means that people use their two index fingers to type--it looks like pecking away at the keys. Touch typing means that your hands and your mind know all the keys on the keyboard by mind memory and muscle memory. You don't look at the keyboard--instead you look at why you're typing so you can watch for mistakes. You type based on the touch and feel of your keyboard. Because each of your fingers is assigned only to two or three keys apiece, you're able to maintain hand position on the keyboard and the letters just flow unconsciously from your fingers. Touch typists are universes faster than people who hunt and peck on their keyboards.

You may also want to invest in specialized gloves that are designed to bring relief to your hands as your are typing.


Is the average secretary's left hand do only 23 percent of the typing on the keyboard?

No. The most common letters of the alphabet are on the lefthand side of the keyboard. They are e, r, s, t, followed by a. On the righthand side of the keyboard, only n and l are common letters. The spacebar can be used by either hand and is a personal comfort choice, as is the caps function. This answer is specific to typing and not other types of computer keyboard functions such as keyboard shortcuts and maneuvering through documents with hot keys, with hands or one. If the keyboardist uses lots of numbers, much can depend on whether or not they use the number keys across the top of the keyboard. Again, that's split equally between the hands. But, if they use the number pad for numbers, then it's purely a righthanded thing. Similarly, if the keyboardist likes to use keyboard shortcuts, use of both hands is equal. But, if the keyboardist likes to use their mouse, then the righthand dominates that function. It all really depends on the keyboardists and their use preferences.
