umm...pinky on the left shift key, whatever other finger to type the letter?

I use the left key exclusively.

 

[nycxandy]

Left.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Left usually.

 

[thomsbrain]

always left.

I use Left shift.

I have a Dvorak Keyboard, so I can hold down my left shift with the pinkie finger and still reach everything important. I't hardly slows me down.

generally:

Left = capitals, signs (@#$^%)
Right = Punctuation (><:?"}{:")

 

[imported_Chemist]

There is a right shift key?

 

[pennylane]

Mostly left. Opposite sometimes. It depends I guess. Meanwile, go Dvorak!

 

[eplebnista]

Left

OMG my left pinky hurts realy bad like after i finish typing up a report or um "typing with emotion" (banging the keys cuz i'm trying to get my point accross on IM)

I used to always use the left shift key, but when the one on my laptop stopped working, I switched over to the right and now always use that one.

Kind of chiming in late, but:

I type fairly properly; I use both shift keys like they're meant to be used. I have one main exception to my typing style on a QWERTY layout, I type "B" using my right index instead of my left. I think this is mainly attributed to my name being Brad, so typing my entire name on my left hand is inconvenient.

The other is an inconsistency in which I type the non-numpad numerals. That seems to depend on the position of my hand on the keyboard at the time.

my keyboard is better than yours

oops i answered right instead of left. Just checked it. There you see that I did it threee times. Guess, there is goes again, I just never paid enough attention... SEE I TYPE WITH THE LEFT SHIFT KEY! OMG my life is going to end. NOOOOOOOOooooooooo.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure I mostly do opposite hand...Let me check

I Pledge Allegiance To The Flag of the United States of America and to THE REPU

Welp, seems like I'm actually about 75% left shift...

Left only.. was taught in school to do the opposite.. but I just find myself ignoring the poor right shift button.
