Question:

Which finger do you press the space bar with?

I press it with my right index finger. Do you also or do you press it with your thumb? Which is the most common way?

Answer:

I generally use my left thumb as I m left-handed (as it's easier to use the left hand fingers for me). But when I m in a hurry, I use both of my thumbs absentmindedly. Ha Ha...
Most common way is the one you feel comfortable with. ^_^ I use right thumb
Most people use their thumb but sometimes I'm all over the place
mostly thumb is used. i use my left thumb but its entirely up to u - use whichever thumb u feel most comfortable with!
Hello; Back in the pre-computer age I learned to type. We were taught to use the thumb to press the space bar. At the time it didn't matter which thumb ... About a year ago I was shopping for a used keyboard. I found a couple of old Compaq heavy metal keyboards for a buck apiece, I thought they were Identical until I looked more closely. One of them had a split space bar ... if the right bar was pressed it made an ordinary space; the left bar was a destructive backspace. So all of the sudden it made a huge difference which thumb I used. Thanks for the question. Bill (Nulfinator on YouTube)
