Practise this

Watch out

  • You tap the full stop with your middle finger.

    The full stop is a ring finger key. Your right middle finger stays on the k.

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.
