Do you use the pinky finger while typing? (lemmy.ml)

I'm starting to learn to touch type correctly on a keyboard, but typing something like :q with the pinky finger always feels so awkward to me. Is it worth using it?

I switched to a somewhat custom keyboard and only use my pinkies for 1 key each during normal typing. It's probably not an issue for most people, but for me the pinkies were the most affected by repetitive strain before i switched.
