I generally use the shift key closest to the key I'm typing. For keys near the center, I favor the right shift key.
The keyboard would absolutely be the show stopper for me, if I didn't just get a new laptop last year. The lack of dedicated Page Up and Page Down keys is unacceptable.
- archon810 5y agoFinally somebody else mentioned it. I will never buy a laptop without a dedicated Home, End, Page Up, and Page Down keys. I've used Chromebooks without them before, and I still to this day can never remember how to select while jumping to the end of the document, for example. It's like four keys all pressed at the same time in a very awkward way.
- floatingatoll 5y agoFrom the Mac side, Fn-Up/Down support seems to be universal for replacing the missing Page Up / Page Down keys. I bet Chrome is Ctrl-Alt-Fn-Down, copying Mac: Down - Cursor trajectory Fn - Page instead of Line Command (Alt) - Document instead of Page Shift - Text selection mode (But I had to hit the keys and then look at my hands to figure out what they were, because I'm just used to keeping the modifier layers in muscle memory, so I could be wrong.)

- kelnos 5y agoOn the contrary, I have those dedicated keys, and I am constantly accidentally hitting Insert when I want Home, which screws up line editing (which is 99% of the time what I'm planning to do after hitting Home).
