Right Hand Finger Mapping
Understand the right-hand letter, punctuation and control-key groups.
Index, middle and ring
The right index covers Y, H, N, U, J, M, 6 and 7. The right middle covers I, K, comma and 8. The right ring covers O, L, period and 9.
Pinky reach
The right pinky covers P, semicolon, slash, 0, minus, equals, brackets, backslash and apostrophe in the shared mapping. Enter and Backspace are also assigned to the right pinky by the typing guide.
Use opposite-hand Shift
A right-hand capital letter or shifted symbol uses left Shift. This applies to punctuation such as a question mark as well as to uppercase letters.
Keep the text context
Practise punctuation in a short sentence rather than repeating a symbol indefinitely. Include the surrounding spaces and capitals so the whole sequence becomes familiar.
