Yup.  I've been touching typing for 20 years.

You're again showing how your lack of imagination limits you.

Who says you MUST press a key with fingers?  I press Ctrl with my palm
using the  area below my  little finger (when  you hold the  hand with
fingers  stretched  and pointing  up).   That  minimizes the  movement
required, allowing  me to press  Ctrl and still  stay on the  home row
(for the  right hand, it  has to be  displaced sideways a bit  so that
index finger is now over L key).

In a nutshell, I touch-typing using more than just 10 fingers.
