5. Shouldve been 6 or 7. Someone asked me not so long ago why the f and j had lines or bumps on them.
So for those who do not know they are primarily for those who are blind. When either a blind or seeing person learns to touch type (not looking at the keys) the index finger on each hand is placed there you are on what is called the start of the 'home' keys with the other fingers placed on the keys directly beside them so you have 'asdf' on one side and generally ';lkj' on the other.

I went back and re-read question and thought I had deleted my comment. Obviously I didn’t delete it properly.

Tried again to delete it but no success

Netta, you can't delete a post if another post has been added after your post. But you can edit it - a time stamp appears to show it's been edited.
