The spacebar is typically pressed with a thumb on either hand.
While there's no strict "correct" finger, the thumbs are the most common and ergonomic choice for pressing the spacebar while touch typing. This is because:
- Accessibility: The spacebar is centrally located and easily reachable by either thumb.
- Ergonomics: Using a thumb reduces strain on the other fingers that are actively typing.
- Efficiency: Thumbs are strong and can quickly and repeatedly press the spacebar.
Although either thumb is generally used, some individuals may habitually prefer one thumb over the other. There isn't a right or wrong way as long as it's comfortable and doesn't hinder typing speed or accuracy. The most important thing is to use whichever thumb feels most natural and efficient for you.
