Nine when touch typing on a QWERTY keyboard.

Four when single-handed typing with my right hand on a QWERTY keyboard. I use all five fingers when I use my left hand. If I'm working with two keyboards I'll use five on right, while using three on my left hand.

I'm still learning dvorak, so I have to use the more agile index, middle, and pointer fingers rather than the pinky and ring finger.

When using text editors, I have to let my left hand dominate the keys from QAZ to YHB because my right hand needs to be closer to the function keys. Ironically, I prefer notebook keyboards for having these keys closer to the alpha-numeric ones.

I also absolutely hate it when keyboards have a lot of travel downwards, yet do not register a key before almost completely being pressed. It's a rich source of omitted characters and when a key will register in the wrong order, ofte nresulting inth is. Extremely frustrating it is, especially when trying to enter commands when I have no screen output.

At most I'll use 8 fingers, but generally I only use 6.

Wow, I've never really paid that much attention to how many fingers I use to type, but I suppose it would be all ten. When I first started typing up this reply, I was going to say that I only use 9, because even when I go to hit backspace I hit it with my ring finger rather than my pinkie, but I got to the second word in this post and realised that I had just used my right hand pinkie for '. That's the ONLY time I use the pinkie on my right hand, but I guess that would still count it as using all ten fingers.

PS. I just thought about it even more, and I also use my pinkie for /.

Wow, I went really into detail there, lol

I'm using two thumbs at the moment, but I can't remember what I use normally.

I sometimes use one thumb and my index fingers.

Most often I use the fingers on my left hand and thumbs and fngers on my right hand. That's 9 fingers.

Eh, I share Kaome's finger-typing. But occasionally I'll slip into my two pointer fingers.

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ

Alphabets go to my left and right Index and Ring fingers. Numbers are to my middles, Shifts, enters, Alt, Cntrls, and so on are my Ring fingers. Occassionally I use my middle fingers to type alphabets. Left thumb is for the spacebar.

I'm left-handed o_O, but I use my mouse-y in the right hand. (That's a random fact for ya)
Its... its... a NEW SIG!! OMG!!

It's either all ten, or all except my left thumb. I generally use my right index finger for space, but I think I've used my left thumb for it a few times in the past, too.

EDIT: Oh, crap. I should have checked the date on this before I posted. My bad. =\

It's not really a big problem since it's the off-topic forum. Just refrain from threadomancing in the other forums.

8, all but my ring fingers. I type with my hands floating, I never learned how to type
"properly". I still type damned fast with accuracy.

I don't actually consider either Metaphorical or Black_Heart's posts necromancy, as they both contributed to the main topic.

And yes, storyteller, Black_Heart was the original one who nercomanced, Metaphorical just posted in it afterwords.
