I do. If I need to type a full word, all uppercase (e.g. the name of a constant) or simply more than one uppercase letter I'll use caps lock, because it allows me to keep touch typing without having to change the hand that keeps shift pressed. I never understood why people seem to be against caps lock, to be fair.
- RandallBrown 7y agoI've never had a problem touch typing while my pinky is holding down the shift key. I type kinda weird though. I don't use the right shift key at all. Only the left one.
- geerlingguy 7y agoI do that too, though overall typing speed is a little slower. It seems like it could be easy enough to do some sort of 'double-tap shift to go into caps lock' mode like the iOS default keyboard does.
- klez 7y agoOk, but then you have to type an A with your left ring finger instead of using your pinky. Doesn't it slow you down? I'm asking because I never got in that habit and religiously kept using the finger "assigned" to each key.
- celeritascelery 7y agoI do the same thing (only use left shift). I have gotten really good at typing with using the ring finger for the far left row. Doesn’t seem to be any slower.
