Practicing Z and Slash with Space, Home, and Upper Row
Master the pinky keys Z and slash to complete the bottom row. Use your left pinky for Z (below A) and your right pinky for the slash (below ;), keeping other fingers on the home row (A, S, D, F, G, H, J, K, L, ;). Press the spacebar with your preferred thumb. This lesson integrates Z, slash, X, period, C, comma, B, N, V, M, home, and upper row keys (Q, W, E, R, T, Y, U, I, O, P).
Practice sequences like ‘z/ z/ z/ z/’ and words like ‘zap,’ ‘rug,’ ‘wax,’ and ‘yes’ with accurate punctuation placement. Stretch gently to avoid pinky strain and return to the home row after each keystroke. TouchTyping.online’s platform provides real-time feedback, with navigation buttons below and a progress bar above. Mark this lesson complete when confident.
If you struggle, slow down and focus on proper finger placement for Z and slash. Regular practice will make these keys and punctuation feel natural, enhancing your typing fluency.
