I've been programming for 20 years (15 or so using emacs) and I exclusively use the left shift and left modifiers. I probably have never used the (physically) right shift/modifier keys on the keyboard I'm currently typing on that I've had for 2 years.
Why would that be common? I ask because I also don't use the right modifier keys, but that's because I got in the habit years ago on a keyboard which forced me to do it that way.

- prescriptivist 4y agoI guess I assume that left key dominance is more common because that's where some modern laptop keyboards elect to retain the control key and add the fn key.
