Hello,

Just getting started with Emacs. Would like to get advice on how to
train finger movement when learning/using Emacs.

Should I try to continue to follow standard, English typing rules...
where you park your fingers on the home-row, and then press a key only
with the finger reserved for it?

I always use normal touch-typing rules. Maybe that would be difficult if I did not use sticky keys/modifiers:

Beside that I try to use what I am accustomed to. So I turn on cua-mode and viper-mode.
