 ====== First Lesson : Basics ======
 ===== There's No Place Like Home =====
-The keyboard described in these lessons is a 7 button((The word //button// is used inplace of the word //key// to avoid ambiguity.  //Button// will allways mean one of the individual, physical keys on the chorder itself.)) chorder with one button assigned to each finger and three used by the thumb.  This is not the only way to build a spiffchorder, but it is the design assumed in the lessons and charts in this section of this site.  The //Home Position// for this arrangement of the chorder is the hand placement where each finger is resting (without pressing) on the button assigned to it and the thumb is on the middle button of the three buttons it uses.  From this position combinations of the four finger buttons and the center thumb button will be used to produce the entire alphabet ``(and a little bit more)``.

+If you press ''Near'' twice you get a <key>space</key>((While not that useful here, having a space on ''Near'' becomes helpful if you are in number-prefix with <key>number prefix lock</key>))
 ''Near'' by itself acts as a prefix key as well, but rather than change the letter from lower case to upper case, it changes it from a letter to  a number or symbol.
