Forum:Hjkl: two hands?
Revision as of 08:48, 6 July 2010 by 86.60.223.164 (talk) (Normal touch typing positions or something else for hjkl(yubn)?)
Hi everybody!
I'm thinking of starting to use the hjkl (yubn) keys, and I'm really wondering how I'm supposed to hold my fingers. I understand hjkl comes from the amazing world of vi and early terminals with no arrow keys, and hjkl is supposed to be oh-so convenient as you don't have to move your fingers from the home row.
But with nethack things are a bit different: not only are yubn outside the home row, b belongs to the typing zone of the left hand!
The question is: do you use the normal touch typing zones (both hands), or do you rest your right-hand fingers one step left of the normal typing position?
Thanks!
