Do you use your little fingers to type often?

<< < (6/6)

djones:
One thing while I learned while recovering from RSI was that using the pinky for one-handed-key-combos (including simple capitalized letters) is a sure fire way to aggravate whatever condition you have. Not only are you contorting your hand but also they are the weakest finger on your hands. For around a decade I didn't use my pinkies at all for typing and even now never use them for the modifier keys.

madrone:
Always used all my fingers but now I'll never be able to stop thinking about my pinkies when I type, so... thanks for that :p

smarmar:
I don't know what I'd do without my littlest piggies!  :))
I learned to touch type with all my fingers, and when I play Fortnite I use my left pinky for no less than 4 actions. I've been touch typing for 37 years, and so far, no problems.

LavenderB:
I'm not a proper touch typist but I do usually use my pinkies while typing.

mathisart:
I use my pinky fingers for the left-most and right-most keys, which includes the last column of character keys and some modifiers keys.
