the very first thing to learn about touch typing, if you have what I
call a normal keyboard, is to learn to sense the tactile difference,
usually a bump or raised part of the key, between the 'f' and 'j' key,
as opposed to all the other keys -- these are made different because
that is where touch typists place their index fingers -- they can find
"home position" without looking using those keys
