I've noticed lately that my pinky's are feeling a little strain. I then noticed that they often seem to be hovering above the keyboard! Anyway, today I have been attempting to move only the required finger from the home row. I'm finding this quite hard. As an example, when typing a period (or full stop), all fingers except the index finger lift off the keyboard, and down to the bottom row. When I try to stop that happening, I can make all fingers stay on the home row, except the one to the right of the index finger (not sure what thats called). The two middle fingers seem to have the hardest time doing anything on their own. They insist on bringing their neighbours with them. Typing 'w' also wants to bring the pinky with it.

What are peoples thoughts on this? I personally think it is down to Qwerty touch typing where my fingers were away from the home row more often than on it. Is it worth me concentrating on keeping my fingers on the home row? By the way, after only an hour of doing this my fingers feel more in my control and accuracy seems to be higher.
