Notes on this level
Which finger types this key
A browser can only report which character was typed, never which finger pressed it. That is why this lesson blocks on the wrong key rather than claiming to detect the wrong finger — the finger is something you have to build the habit for, and the table below is the habit to build.
- 9
- Right ring finger, number row — reaching up from L.
Where the mistakes come from
Errors are rarely random. A wrong key is usually the right finger travelling the wrong distance in its own column, which is why the fix is control rather than slowing down everywhere.
- 9
- Most often mistyped as o, l, . — the other keys the right ring finger is responsible for.
