I’m starting to learn to touch type correctly on a keyboard, but typing something like :q with the pinky finger always feels so awkward to me. Is it worth using it?

    I’ve got my caps lock key remapped to escape.

    I use my left pinky for ctrl, shift, a, and my remapped caps lock/escape key.

    I use my right pinky for shift, enter, and I’m pretty sure that’s all.

    I use my ring fingers for backspace, tilde, tab, q, backslash, quote, and that probably isn’t a comprehensive list.

    I use my middle finger for semicolon/colon! I never realized that before. Wild.
