All of them. Some more often than others.
How many fingers do you type with?
I started using Mavis Beacon at a very early age. So, I use all ten fingers and am fairly quick at moving around the keyboard.
"On my right hand I usually only use my thumb for the space bar, my index finger and the middle finger and on the left hand I only use my index finger, I have never noticed how retarded that is, and I should learn how to type properly, any advice on a good program for this?
"
Take a class! I took a class back & it still took 2.5 years to get the speed up. I don't think I could handle just chicken pecking with a couple of fingers. Learning to type on a keyboard sort of reminds me of learning how to play a musical instrument.
"any advice on a good program for this? "I didn't notice this part of the question. Yes, I do have a suggestion for this:
TYPING OF THE DEAD.
TYPING OF THE DEAD 2. (it exists, even though Giant Bomb doesn't list it. It's a Japan only release.)
Get them. Play them. There is nothing better than shooting zombies to death by typing.
edit:
Seriously, look at this, this is fucking awesome:
Type the fuck out of that chainsaw zombie!
on left hand => middle finger dominates the left half of the keyboard
I was taught to use all, but I ended up reverting to my two indexes and left thumb. All things considered, I'm still a rather fast typer and have received compliments from people on my quick fingers. They are also doubly impressed (if not terrifired) for I type almost as fast as I talk in person, or so people say.
"@Bucketdeth: I type with all 11 fingers. "Thats amazing, can I be your apprentice and you be my master?

I completely agree. In 5th and 6th grade we had to take mandatory classes. I still, as I previously posted, only use three fingers now, but in the classes I was pretty decent. If anything, the classes helped me to improve my speed and memorize where each key is. I am not looking at the screen as I type this. I think I make more typos than the average non-chicken pecker, and therefore have to backspace more, but I type rather fast, so I don't mind for the most part. I also have extra patience for it all when I am on a forum, because I like making no typos (who does?) and proofread my posts a couple of times or so before I send them.
I thought that everyone on this post would be all like 'Im am soooo uber cuz i is typin' wit all me fingers and my face'
buut i just noticed that most people type like me index and middle finger on both hands and me thumbs for the space.
I've tried to go back to pecking after teaching myself to type with all 10 fingers, and it feels so weird now.
"I thought that everyone on this post would be all like 'Im am soooo uber cuz i is typin' wit all me fingers and my face' buut i just noticed that most people type like me index and middle finger on both hands and me thumbs for the space."Yep thats how I roll, but I do use my pinky for the right shift key.
I use I guess all 10. I'll use my four on each hand to type. And I'll switch between thumbs for the space bar.
"Same thing here, I can go up to 3 or 4 but that's my fastestn way.I typed this message with two fingers, really fast hunt and peck style.
I can also type with all ten fingers, but I can type so fast with two fingers I usually don't bother.

All of them (yes, both thumbs, they work interchangebly)
I actually learned to type efficiently when I took a computer course in middle school, and the teacher put black paint over the keys on the keyboard, so we HAD to remember which keys to type, and with which finger. It worked. Much better than in elementary school.
