*An ex was a copper, and he could type faster with two fingers on a manual**, than me using all mine on an electric**. And I am pretty fast (with practice).
I reckon six (index, middle and ring finger on each hand.) I might occasionally use any of the other four if I'm stretching to reach a key but they're certainly not in the regular rotation.
All of them. (Mom taught me to 'touch type' when I was ten years old.) But now that I'm thinking about it, I honestly can't tell if I spacebar with both thumbs or just the right one.
I may use all ten - slowly and badly as I said - but my son (and no doubt yours) treats his mobile phone like a machine gun whereas I am pressing the keys as if the keyboard were in darkness.
I think that I generally use 5, plus the thumb for the space bar. The ring finger on my right hand is mostly - but not completely - unused except for apostrophes. The little fingers seem as much use as a vestigial tail.

Same here, using the right thumb for the space bar. Have always been a fairly fast typist but do spend quite a bit of time going back to delete extra letters when I hit two keys at once..
Also, as a career-long Mac user, I end every sentence with Command + S to save my work. Macs don't freeze/crash any more, but old habits die very hard.
Hmmm. Having recently had a ton of shared pages of a team notebook in OneNote completely wiped out by a bad sync, I'd back things up if it's anything actually important.
