How do you typing on regular keyboard?

vs. a 500.000 character heatmap of a german novel:


If i ever learn touch typing again it won't be QWERTZ for sure.

[Muirium]

So little Z? I thought German was mad for them. (And that this might have been the rationale for QWERTZ.) Incidentally, A is always my most worn key, despite E's preeminence in English, too. And it's not because of my little bit of coding.

Anyway, I ought to learn something else too. Perhaps I will someday, with a radical change of physical layout.

I think OP asked which finger you use to hit which key on a regular staggered keyboard but I may totally mistaken on this so take the following with a grain of salt!

Even though 'b' might physically be in the middle of the two hands, I still hit it with my left hand. And for '6', where a case could be made that it *is* physically closer to the left hand, I do still hit it with my right hand.

Why? Because then I have less issues adapting to split and split / matrix keyboards.

People getting used to hit '6' with the left hand will have a harder time adapting to a split keyboard (except the rare ones which do put two '6' keys: one on each side of the keyboard).

I hit "b" with right hand too but "6" still with left

Judging by the 'smoothing' on my laptop keyboard 'J' and 'N' and Left Ctrl appear to be the most smoothed, followed by F, H, K, L, B, and space bar (under right thumb only).
The next most smoothed keys would maybe be E, T, Left Alt, Left Shift, Tab, I, O, R, period, semicolon and enter.

I just learned Emacs after having used vim for a long time and the heavy use of Ctrl prompted me to swap Caps lock and Ctrl (for the first time I've tried this).

It works out great, and in fact it's made me start to use the right modifiers, whereas before I only used left modifiers. Emacs bindings were painful to get used to at first, and in the end I'll probably try vim bindings in Emacs, but the lisp scripting and overall environment seems more consistant than having to deal with vim script.

Yeah looks strange,i've try standart way for typing but my left hand quite strange
does is asymmetric really bother you?

B with Left index i think too far
i aggre with you Q and P somitemes people uses ring fingers

[Spearman]

Hmm, 'B' is equal distance from F and J (home position for index fingers). I do use right index for B sometimes if a left-modifier is needed (Ctrl-B)

[bhtooefr]

Mind you, A is going to get worn a lot more even if it's not heavily used. This is simply due to the pinky finger sliding on and off of it to hit Tab for Ctrl-Tab and Alt-Tab.
