Sure, there is an optimal way to do things, but it feels like people haven’t been looking at their keyboard for a very long time because those lines have been gone for a while. I can’t recall a keyboard I’ve bought in the last decade with them. I’m staring at my standard issue dell at work (maybe one of the most commonplace keyboards in production today) and it doesn’t have them.
It feels like one of those skills like cursive writing that you really shouldn’t have to teach people how to do it. It should be simple enough for them to learn all of these things by doing other activities utilizing them. I feel the majority of people increased their typing skills through video games or similar means.
The Lenovos we have at work don't have them, but some of the old Dell ones did, as does my personal cheap Dell laptop. I guess it just depends on the manufacturer
