Here's the Quad Technique for people who can make their brain think of each finger as always being assigned to one key. It is real easy for 2 keys-at-a-time combos as soon as you learn the technique.

It uses the index and middle finger on both hands. Place your left hand in front of the keyboard for the left arrow (left hand, middle finger) and right arrow (left hand, index finger). Your right hand is over the 10-key, fingers facing towards the middle of the keyboard. If your hand is big enough, you rest the thumb just under the "0", "Period", and "Enter" keys, with the bottom of your palm resting just to the right of the "+" and "Enter" keys. The down key is your right hand's index finger, and the up key is the right hand's middle finger. After in this position, you can find more comfortable locations to rest your hands. This is for a standard keyboard, and is really hard to use on a Microsoft Natural, but can still be done.

(Main Problem for your brain!!!)
You will switch the Up and Down Arrows in your head in the beginning. Just keep at it, your brain will adjust.


Now would you all newbie wackos shut up about the subject?
Yu can use 2 fingers, 3 fingers, or 4 fingers. Just use this way or find your own way. It isn't hard, but some newbies need to not be so stupid.
