Hello to everyone!Its obvious that anyone who reads this discussion knows how to use a computer as well as able to use the keyboard I just wondered if some of you guys use your thumbs on pressing other keys on your keyboard aside from the space bar, Ctrl and Alt keys. When my right hand is on the mouse, I usually use my left hand alone on the keyboard and I just realized that I only seldom use my thumb with other keys except the ones that I mentioned. I looked and realized that aside from the three that I have mentioned, Space bar, Ctrl and Alt, I also press "M" with my left thumb. I know it isn't that an amazing discovery but, it did make me wonder if others also use their left thumb on the keyboard on other keys without realizing it. Thank you and Good day!

I never use mu thumb. It just kind of hangs around as my other fingers do all the work. Typing this turns out my little finger does nothing as well

I don't use my left thumb at all on a keyboard. I do press the space bar with my right thumb, but that is the only key I strike with a thumb.
