- What it is
- A long guide from AgileFingers, a typing training site, on where each finger sits, including the number row and the choice between a shifted and a full cascade for the number 6.
- How much weight it carries
- A vendor article with no cited study. It gives one teacher's recommendation on a point where tutors disagree, so it is a view rather than a measurement. Other tutors place the 6 differently.
Facts taken from this source
- AgileFingers recommends the shifted cascade, which places the number 6 under the left hand, for better ergonomics.
“Use the "shifted cascade" method (number "6" with the left hand) for better ergonomics.” (Key takeaways)
