    You could move your right hand to the keypad when you need to use it. If you are typing something with more letters than numbers, use the number keys above the letter keys instead.

    Use any keyboard you have to type with, to practice on. By default, all letters are lowercase. Your left and right pinky fingers will simultaneously press the "SHIFT" key and the letter you want to make uppercase when typing uppercase letters. Type the opposite letter and, opposite shift finger. So if you are typing capital P (right hand touches P), then your left pinky touches shift, so you can do it quickly.

    G and H are left empty. On the home row, your fingers don't rest there. Type G with your left index finger and H with your right index finger.
