do you use the right-shift key?

[mugs]

I use the left shift key. Screw all the pedants who think you should only use the left shift key if you're typing on the right side of the keyboard. The only time it makes a difference is when I'm typing a capital A or Q. It's not difficult to move my ring finger over to hit those keys.

I use RShift + Del often, LShift only when typing email address or Caps

 

[jlee]

I use both.

Then I looked down, oh...

lol

Only the left...

 

[Mrvile]

Left shift FTW!

Left, except in certain isolated situations.

I believe I type about 80-85wpm w/ the dvorak layout. I used to be faster, but switching from qwerty -> dvorak left my mind rather mushy.

[HamburgerBoy]

Never gave it much thought until now but I use the left shift exclusively. Not even sure I've ever used the right one.

I only use the right one.

I use both. Otherwise it screws up the typing.

May I assume you're right handed?

only the left for me

I dont think the typing tests will work since if you switch styles, you will type slower since you have to think about using the other shift key.

my right HAND is dominant, but my left ARM is dominant too. it's really weird. i write with my right hand, eat with my right hand, but hold guns with my left hand and play tennis with my left hand.
