They are guide keys for those of us who type without looking down.

The are designed so that people who learned to type in a typing class can find the proper position for their index fingers without having to look at the keyboard.

the line is to help typists to type when using the home row keys which are asdf jkl; and the 5 is to help typists use the keypad
good typists do not need to look at the keys while typing so this helps them to type faster

Touch typists use them to locate their fingers without looking at the keyboard.

They're so that you can find your "home row" without looking...The one on the 5 key is to let you know where center is on the number pad.

They are called home keys for those who type you can feel them so you don't have to keep looking down ( hand placement)

This is for blind typers. It's a guide as to where their fingers are.
