Poll: How do you shift?
I realized that I only use one shift key. From asking around, it seems like other people are the same, but which side it is differs. Try typing if you don't remember. Could it be worth training yourself to use both?
- releasedatez 18y agoI use both but mostly left for uppercase and special characters. I use right shift for block shifting my code (shift+tab).
- Dobbs 18y agoI used to only use the left, I then retrained myself to use both. Its now much easier to capatalize letters that are on the left half of the board.

- brianto2010 18y agohmm... 1) With my right index finger (right handed) 2) With my left index finger (left handed) 3) With my TouchPad (laptop) 4) I have a special mouse (please explain) 5) I don't -- mice are slow * (prefer keyboards) * http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000825.html http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000825.html On a more serious note, I use both shift keys. How/why are some people only use one shift key for typing? From whom already voted, why is the left shift key more popular?

- tjic 18y agoWith my right hand; clutch with the left foot.
- yan 18y agoThat was my first thought too before I actually saw the poll.
- jacquesm 18y agoI can do both, but it took some time to get used to shifting with left. Even now every now and then my hand will hit the doorpanel really hard when I'm no longer thinking 'right hand drive'... As for the poll, I actually had to try it to see what I'm doing because I really couldn't have told you if you asked me without a keyboard in front of me. Weird how that works!
