Interesting. I went looking for a reference, and could not find this
usage.
I take that back -- Goggle failed me. I looked here:
https://www.dictionary.com/browse/heel
And found it at sense 9:
the rear of the palm, adjacent to the wrist:
To perform CPR on an adult, begin by placing the heel of your hand on the
center of the person’s chest.
Never heard of 'heel of your hand'.
Google AI Overview says "The heel of the hand is the raised, inner part of the hand near the wrist, at the base of the metacarpal bones."
So it's a thing.
What I was referring to is the lower palm of the hand nearest the pinky.
How the heck can you hit one key with anything but a fingertip? The Ctrl key on my MS Comfort Curve 2000 keyboard is just about flush with the chassis. No way I can press that key with anything but a finger.
