<h2>About QuickQWERTY</h2>
<p>
<a href="http://quickqwerty.com/">QuickQWERTY</a> is a touch typing
tutor that runs on a web browser with JavaScript enabled. This
software may be used to train your fingers to type without looking
at the keys. After completing all the units available in this
software, one would know the location of the keys on the keyboard
through muscle memory, and would be able to effortlessly use the
right finger for each key.
</p>

</ul>
<h3 id="units">Units</h3>
<p>
The typing lessons available in this software are divided into units
and subunits. Each unit introduces a new set of keys to be
practiced. For example, the first unit trains the fingers on how to
press the keys in the home row. A couple of new keys are introduced
with every new unit.
</p><p>
Each unit is divided into five subunits:
</p>
<ol>
<li>Grip: Getting used to the keys</li>
<li>Words: Learning to type words</li>
<li>Control: Learning to stop abruptly in the middle of words</li>
<li>Sentences: Learning to type sentences</li>
<li>Test: Testing your proficiency level in the current unit</li>
</ol>
<p>
One should move to the next lesson only after completing the current
lesson satisfactorily. When a lesson is completed satisfactorily,
the software suggests you to move to the next lesson.
</p><p>
While typing one should look at the computer monitor only. Fingers
should always be placed on the home row as indicated in the first unit.
If any key outside the home row has to be typed, one should return the
finger to the home row immediately after striking that key.
</p>
<h3 id="split">5–6 split vs. 6–7 split</h3>
<p>
There are two popular ways to type the ten number keys on the top
row.
</p>
<ol>
<li>
In a nontraditional style, '1' is typed with the little finger
of the left hand, '2' is typed with the ring finger of the left
hand, '5' is typed with the forefinger of the left hand and '6'
is typed with the forefinger of the right hand. Thus, the number
keys are split at 5–6 between the left hand and the right
hand.
</li><li>
In the traditional style, '1' and '2' are typed with the little
finger of the left hand, '6' is typed with the forefinger of the
left hand and '7' is typed with the forefinger of the right
hand. In other words, the number keys are split at 6–7
between the left hand and the right hand.
</li>
</ol>
<p>
In most keyboards, the '6' key is located closer to the 'F' key. As
a result, the '6' key is more accessible to the left hand than the
right hand. Therefore, many people prefer the traditional style with
6–7 split. However, there are also many people who prefer the
nontraditional style with 5–6 split. Which style you choose
depends on your taste, convenience and the kind of keyboard you
have. If you are confused about which style to choose, choose the
traditional style with 6–7 split.
</p><p>
This software supports both styles for the number keys. In units
16–20 which introduce the number keys, a link appears below
the practice area to switch between the two styles.
</p>
<h3 id="commands">Commands</h3>
<p>
At any point while typing in the input box, you can type an input
command. The following is a list of the supported commands along
with a description of what each command does.
</p>
<dl>
<dt>restart</dt><dd>restart the current subunit</dd>
<dt>rst</dt><dd>same as the 'restart' command</dd>
<dt>fix</dt><dd>remove errors from the input text</dd>
<dt>xxx</dt><dd>same as the 'fix' command</dd>
</dl>
<p>
When you type a command in the input box, an error would be
displayed because the software would be expecting you to type the
text displayed above the input box instead of the command you are
typing. This is okay and you can ignore the error and continue to
type the command. As soon as you complete typing the command, your
command would be executed.
