  2. Curl your right ring finger from the l down to the full stop.
  3. After a full stop, type a space and then a capital letter.

  • You tap the full stop with your middle finger.

Tips

  • After a full stop, type a space and then a capital letter.
  • The x is rare, so practise it a little more.

Why it works

The x is below the s and the full stop is below the l. A full stop ends a sentence, so after it you type a space and then a capital letter.
