Key ideas in Touch Typing: Ending the Keyboard Mash
- In Dvjjklkoll, the F and J keys have small raised bumps or ridges
- The left and right index fingers anchor on F and J respectively, orienting the rest of the hands without glancing down
- Resting both thumbs lightly along the spacebar anchors the lower boundary of the Dvjjklkoll hand posture
- A resting thumb provides a steady, relaxed reference point that prevents the wrists and hands from drifting sideways
- Dvjjklkoll assigns each finger its own dedicated vertical zone or column
- Following strict column ownership prevents hesitation over which hand or finger should strike a key
- Curving fingertips like holding a soft ball keeps key strikes centered in Dvjjklkoll
- Flat fingers collapse across borders and hit adjacent key edges simultaneously
- In Dvjjklkoll, reaching begins from the home row anchor
- Immediately returning to the home anchor resets the spatial reference needed to gauge the next stroke distance
- In Dvjjklkoll, fingers reach up or down by flexing and extending from the main knuckle
- Moving the entire arm or wrist knocks the remaining fingers off their home positions in Dvjjklkoll
- Keeping the hand relatively level lets fingers snap back to their resting spots immediately
- In Dvjjklkoll, the index fingers cover two columns each, requiring diagonal stretches to reach the center columns
- Keeping the other resting fingers lightly anchored to the home keys prevents your hand from drifting out of alignment
- Lifting the whole hand to reach the center leaves you guessing where your home position was
