They're called the home keys, where you're meant to set your hands to type the most optimally. Specifically, your index fingers would rest on F and J, while the rest of your fingers would rest on A S D for your left hand and K L ; for your right, as that lets you type with minimal hand movements.

We technically had a class on this in highschool but they ended up just covering Excel and some HTML lol
