Keyboard Memo
Keyboard with finger positions (source: http://frontype.com/keyboarding/400px-Touch-typing.png):
Shows which key should be pressed with which finger (middle pink is for index fingers, green for middle fingers and so on).
Grey keys: I usually use pinky here, except for the space bar).
Space bar: Press with left thumb after typing a letter with right hand and press with the right thumb after typing a letter with left hand.
