Do you use the pinky finger while typing? (lemmy.ml)

I'm starting to learn to touch type correctly on a keyboard, but typing something like :q with the pinky finger always feels so awkward to me. Is it worth using it?

Similarly I learned to properly type (which means using your pinkies) with Dvorak back in 2007. I stuck with it since anything is a gain beyond QWERTY & _ on the home row helps with programming & config.

If you haven’t learned to touch type, you may as well use a layout that is gonna strain you less in the long run.
