other than as a keybind in a singular Minecraft mod, no never. Always the left one, I also never use the caps lock key
Yes, I trained myself only to use opposite hand shift combinations. You can do this with a programmable keyboard, autohotkey, or karabiner.
So Left Shift+a doesn’t do anything, only Right Shift+a will output A
It was a exercise in getting better typing hygiene.
With emulators mostly.
Yes. I still use my computer for mostly writing, so proper technique includes using the Right Shift key when capitalizing anything on the left hand side of the keyboard.
Yes. Any time I capitalize a letter on the left side of the keyboard. Isn’t that normal?
I was taught to type that way, but I was never that good at using my right pinky while typing a letter with my left. Or maybe I just wasn’t good at coordinating which shift key to use with which letter. So I started just always using the left shift key which I somehow never had a problem with.
If I have to type capital A, left pinky holds shift and ring finger hits the A. This isn’t the “right” way to touch type, but I can still type pretty fast.
Yes, because I ran out of keys to bind in modded Minecraft.
Never because I can reach left shift with my pinky from basically anywhere on the keyboard
I had to type a bit to check, but found that I mostly use the right shift if the letter I’m capitalizing is on the left side of the keyboard. Oddly, it wasn’t 100% though.
yes it gives me access to “%”, which is handy for string interpolation
exclusively. i never use the left shift for anything other than running in games.
No, I repurposed it as a nightstand
Yeah, pretty sure i use it for capitalising symbols on the right of the keyboard.
In fact, i think i might use it for some of the symbols above the numbers, too.
I need to get in front of a keyboard and find out.
I on the other hand use it to capitalize the letters on the left side of the keyboard.
Yes, I touch type so use it whenever I capitalise a letter typed by the left hand.
Sure, if I’m inputting data with the Numpad.
… You use capital numbers?
No, the Shift key has uses other than for standard alphabet keys.
I know the shortcuts, but I have never used shift with the numpad. I have used computers before numpad existed on computers. Maybe I am missing out on something.
Just a bad habit for data entry that stuck from use of the old IBM keyboards. Somehow it felt better to shift my attention to the right-hand side instead of the standard layout and extending my hand to the keyboard’s top just below the F-keys. Everything I needed was right there on the right 1/4 of the keyboard…
i don’t type capital letters
because fuck capitalism :3
That’s capitalisation. Capitalism is a philosophical view that the universe is solely based on randomness
That’s casualism. Capitalism is the practice of eating the flesh of your own kind
That’s carnivorism. Capitalism is when an organism has tissue made of different genetic composition
That’s chimerism. Capitalism is a large-scale and violent event in the natural world.
That’s a cataclysm. Capitalism is a criminal act conducted with computers and resulting in violence, destruction, or death of targets in an effort to scare people and coerce a government to alter it’s policies.
That’s cyberterrorism. Capitalism describes a chain of events where an initial action or event triggers a series of subsequent events, each building upon the previous, leading to a larger, often unforeseen, outcome.
That’s a cascade. Capitalism represents an aesthetic and intellectual approach that values reason, order, and balance, drawing inspiration from the enduring legacy of ancient Greece and Rome.
That’s cannibalism. Capitalism was a practice done in the First Brazilian Republic that is also known as “rule of the colonels”.
