Answer 1

Muscle memory.

Your brain remembers what signals it sent for hitting the right key.

A good way to see that it’s really not a “knowing where the key is at all times” but a “knowing what way to move when I am about here” try placing your hand(s) 5cm to the right or left on your keyboard where you usually place them. And then type out something blind. You’ll hit the correct placement from memory, but because you’re sitting wrong it’s not the key your brain thinks it is.
