When keyboarding, why do you use your right index finger to type the 'n' instead of your thumb?

Answer 1

I never have that problem. I just use both my index fingers to type everything. LOL

Answer 2

using the index finger makes it more accessible because using the thumb is a bit tougher. It can be done such as the space bar, but index is easier...Don't have to curve your thumb in to a strange position to reach that "n"

Answer 3

Because lifting my thumb to type a letter is much harder than just using my finger. Put all your fingers on the keys they are supposed to be on (usually asdf jkl; ... then try to keep your fingers on those keys while moving your thumb up to hit the n letter... its kinda weird feeling) Besides... that begs to answer, why not use your left thumb to press v???

Answer 4

Because you can simply lower your index finger to hit the N key. To use your thumb, you'd have to move your entire hand up.

Answer 5

If you lay your fingers on the keyboard like this

Left Hand = ASDF
Right Hand = JKL:

You will find it very uncomfortable using your thumbs to strike any key in the lower row...it has to do with the joints in your hand.

Answer 6

good question

for one other fingers are more flexible
i dont even use the thumb for typing, I use my index finger for space.

conclusion, thumbs arent designed for reaching other keys

Answer 7

because you use your for the space bar. if you had to use your thumb for the space bar and the n, you would b really confused and it would take longer to type things if the words ended in a n because you would have to type the n and then move your thumb to press the space bar.

Answer 8

Because your space bar key is used so much, you have to have your thumb there ready to hit it when you need it, it is hard to lift your thumb up enough to hit the n key.

Answer 9

have u tried using your thumb

Answer 10

Yes. My typing teacher taught us to key that way back in grade school.
