    Thank you for participating in our market research. The right shift key will now be replaced with a “Grok” key. Goodbye.

      I thought this was strange, but I noticed my muscle memory actually uses left shift for letters typed with my left hand, and right shift for my right, I use my pinkie in either case.

    only for keybinds that use shift and some other keys that are a little to far away from Lshift on my keyboard.

    I only use it when I have food in one hand and can’t reach the desired key + left shift with my other hand.

    I legitimately know people who press the caps lock key, type what they need uppercased, then press the caps lock key again. That said, I use both shift keys.

    Nope. I use left shift for everything.

    Even if you do use both shift keys correctly, it still feels awkward to me since you have to sacrifice a pinky from home row and shift your hands.

    It’s why I’ve been curious to try a layout where Shift and Alt are swapped, that way you can use your thumb to press shift and keep your fingers in place.

        Thats a good observation. I would think I use Ctrl more frequently than Alt, so it would make sense to have Alt where Ctrl usually is, and Ctrl where Shift usually is.

        That’s casualism. Capitalism is the practice of eating the flesh of your own kind

          That’s cannibalism. Capitalism was a practice done in the First Brazilian Republic that is also known as “rule of the colonels”.

          That’s carnivorism. Capitalism is when an organism has tissue made of different genetic composition

              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 charisma, chimerism refers to an organism, including humans, whose cells are derived from two or more distinct zygotes, meaning they possess two or more sets of DNA.

    I type with both hands usually so use both, but when doing the one hand thing it’s always the right shift key. That one is more worn on my keyboard.

    Never because I can reach left shift with my pinky from basically anywhere on the keyboard

    So, everyone who said “no” never learned how to type or what?
