QWERTY KEYBOARD ON COMPUTER.?

It is for both touch typists so they know the location of their fingers, and also to assist blind people I asume. Although thinking about it, probably more for touch typists as a blind person wouldn't be able to see the screen.

At one time, there became a typing competition between typewriter manufacturers. (This became formerly all typewriters had an identical format.) The winner (between the unique contact typists) befell to be on a QWERTY gadget. Remington were given quite some sturdy merchandising out of it, yet extra importantly to this question, this bloke opened a chain of typing faculties that each and each one taught contact typing and all used Reminton typewriters. the finished typists interior the country all used Remington and whated QWERTY layouts and it grew to grow to be the classic. the regular computing gadget key format is quite different than the QWERTY. there's a a million key. Capital 8 became ' relaxing fact, each and each of the letters of "typewriter" are on an identical row.

F and J and 5 are home keys for the blind and the people who refuse to look at their keyboard. For instance, me. I can't concentrate on the monitor and the keyboard at the same time so I had to learn how to type without looking at my keyboard. It's also kind of useful for those dark days and nights that you don't want to use electricity on.

It helps people who (like myself) can "touch-type" to find the "home keys" on the keyboard. It has variations sometimes, for example, where I learnt, the teacher used very old Apple Mac computers, with the "D" and the "K" with bumps on it.

Whenever I go to a keyboard to type I always look (with my fingers) for the little bumps on the "F" and the "J".

Its not braile. Its to help typist position their hands in the right place. And for the number 5 its to indicate its the middle key and for that its the number 5.

I assume it is to assist blind users to feel their way around the keyboard, like on a telephone the number 5 always has a raised dot (not mobiles).

thats there for touch typists so they always know where there fingers are lying on the keyboard

It is to help in the positioning of fingers for touch typists and the blind.
