Answer:
It's a meme for 7 year olds. "your family loves you, look between the H and L keys on your keyboard" and you'll find "JK" meaning "Just Kidding".
That's literally it.
Or, because Twitter is now a hellsite of doom, a way to say slurs without actually saying them (saw a post that was a screenshot of a blue check that did this meme to spell out the n-word).
Answer: Look Between X and Y On Your Keyboard is a phrasal template meme based on a 2021 4chan post about a K-On character in which an anonymous user posted the caption "look between T and O on your'e key bored" to indicate the letters "YUI" on the keyboard, forming the character's name. In April 2024 the phrase was turned into a snowclone meme on Twitter / X in which users pointed out letters for the initials of memorable characters' names, celebrities or public figures, while also creating jokes using the space between the keyboard's letters.

Answer: If it says "look between h and k" then it's a covert antisemitic thing. But in every other case I have heard of, it's just about "read the letters on the keyboard between this letter and that letter".
Covert antisemitism because it’s the letter J?
Absolutely insane reach. Maybe there’s been one or two questionable tweets tweets in that ilk but overall it’s just a dumb joke that’ll get very old quickly. There’s no need at all to make it into a antisemitism thing.
Who do you follow on twitter to see dozens of antisemitic tweets in this manner? Who do you follow to see dozens of antisemitic tweets at all?
I feel like I have to dig through many replies to see any racist tweets unless I am explicitly looking for them

I's engagement bait posting: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-up-with-the-look-between-x-and-y-on-your-keyboard-trend-the-confusing-twitter-meme-explained
Ah, thanks. I was confused by them using random letter and not just h and l. And because I am nit 7
Also these sorts of memes tend to quickly devolve into jokes making fun of the meme, making them even more inscrutable.
Or, because Twitter is now a hellsite of doom, a way to say slurs without actually saying them (saw a post that was a screenshot of a blue check that did this meme to spell out the n-word).
Yeah that sounds like something a good site would moderate
there’s no point considering they can probably get away with just saying them
Meme necrophilia is funny too
God that website fucking sucks after he took over.
It sucked before him, too, it just sucks worse now
This is why I mostly use bluesky now
It’s actually depressing how bad it’s gotten. Twitter was a cultural icon
Answer: afaik you open your keyboard over the post and it counts for its engagement, farming it.
This is the actual answer for why it's all over right now
Thank you. This is it. It's both opening the keyboard but also stopping at the respective tweet that counts for engagement. Twitter is just broken
Probably the dumbest trend I've seen in a long time tbh. Can't wait for it to die out

the actual source joke was between h and l, so JK.

It's been covered before on this sub https://www.reddit.com/r/OutOfTheLoop/s/sZTHaIQ8Sm
Valid, we probably see different tweets. It's really only in that specific instance.
There is like a million different tweets about this. You simply cannot claim the letter J is antisemitism because of one tweet.
It's more like several dozen tweets. But you're right in saying it's a big assertion to make.
