Detailed Answer
Home row keys are the middle row of a QWERTY keyboard where your fingers rest. Left hand: A (pinky), S (ring), D (middle), F (index). Right hand: J (index), K (middle), L (ring), ; (semicolon – pinky). Thumbs rest on the spacebar. The F and J keys have tactile bumps so you can locate them without looking. From home row, each finger reaches up to the top row (QWERTY) and down to the bottom row (ZXCVBNM). Returning to home row after each keystroke is essential for touch typing. Memorizing home row is the first lesson in any typing course.
