Dvorak Lesson 24: Learn to Type < & > Keys

This typing lesson will teach you the < [less than sign] and > [greater than sign] keys. Sometimes also called angle brackets, these symbols are used in programming languages, math, and occasionally to display lists in a passage of text. If you already know the keyboard, try our our programming drills or symbol drills for more relevant practice exercises.

Instructions:

• Begin with your fingers on the home row.
• The '<' key is the same as the ',' key (above the 'O' key), hold the shift key down when you hit it.
• The '>' key is the same as the '.' key (above the 'E' key), hold the shift key down when you hit it.

• Once you learn where these keys are, try to type them without looking at your fingers. To make a capital letter, press the shift key with the pinky finger of your other hand at the same time as you press the letter key. Scroll down if needed to type the following: 
• When you feel confident you can type these keys without looking, go on to the next lesson.
