TENKEY

The Jonesin' puzzle for March 6th had the clue "12d. Typist's setup usually performed with the right hand". I had no idea. The crossing words forced the answer to be TENKEY. I still had no idea. I mean, the number keys go to 9 and then 0. There is no 10 key.

TenKey (or tenkey, or ten key) refers to the ten numeric digit keys of a numeric keypad or calculator. With a little help from Google (444,000 hits for "tenkey"), I see that the web is swarming with TenKey tutors, speed tests, and calculators.

I did not know.
