Typing Style
Observe your typing style and notice how
you use your fingers and hands. Avoid
keeping any unnecessary tension in your
thumbs and fingers. Observe whether you
have a heavy touch or a light touch while
typing. Use the minimum amount of force
needed to depress the keys.
Reaching for Keys and Key Combinations
To reach keys that are not near your
keyboard's home row, move your whole
arm; avoid stretching your fingers and
angling your wrists. When pressing two keys
simultaneously, such as Ctrl+C or Alt+F, use
two hands instead of contorting one hand to
reach both keys.
