Questions about one handed typing? See the Dvorak single-handed keyboard layout.
Glad you have enjoyed the KEYlabels. Remember, our Skillbuilder Learning Kit teaches you to type without looking very quickly. That way, you will not need to use the labels. The KEYlabels are great for typing individual letters where you type key combinations where you need to look down.
