The Almena Method claims that you can learn all of the key locations in an hour. It doesn’t claim that you will become an accomplished accomplis hed keyboarder in an hour, but but they have a reference system for you to use to figure out which fingers you need to use for each of the letters. The Almena Method (is quite different from the standard style of mastering the homerow and then moving throughout the rest of the keyboard learning the keys.
