v and m — one row down
You learn the v and the m: your index fingers curl one row down and come back.
How to find the key
- Curl your left index finger from the f down to the v.
- Curl your right index finger from the j down to the m.
- Keep your wrist still and go back to the bump.

More examples
vm mv vm
- Tap the v with your left index finger.
- Tap the m with your right index finger.

move have
- Type move: the m, the o, the v and the e.
- Press the space bar.
- Type have, curling down for the v.
Watch out
You pull your whole hand down to reach the v.
Curl only your finger and keep your wrist still.
Tips
- Think of the curl as the opposite of the reach.
- Return to the bump after every curl.
Why it works
The bottom row is a curl instead of a reach. The v is below the f and the m is below the j. Your index fingers know these places from the bumps. Keep your wrist still.
