i don't type capital letters

because fuck capitalism :3

Yes. Any time I capitalize a letter on the left side of the keyboard. Isn't that normal?

Yes. I still use my computer for mostly writing, so proper technique includes using the Right Shift key when capitalizing anything on the left hand side of the keyboard.

No, I repurposed it as a nightstand

Yes, because I ran out of keys to bind in modded Minecraft.

Yes, I use both. Learned typing that way.

Yes, I touch type so use it whenever I capitalise a letter typed by the left hand.

I think a good followup question for this one would be "Were you able to answer the question from memory?"

I couldn't remember, so I had to do some typing to see. And based on the amount of visible keycap wear, I'd say they get used equally.

Yes. Proper use of touch typing uses both shift keys. That's how I type.

Well, I don't use the wrong shift key /s

I do. Perhaps, as another poster pointed out, it ties into typing classes I had back in the late '80s or early '90s.

With emulators mostly.

I touch-type, so yes.

other than as a keybind in a singular Minecraft mod, no never. Always the left one, I also never use the caps lock key

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.

Once every blue moon I'll use the right shift to Ctrl+Shift+m and unmute a Teams call but thats the only time I can think I've used it.

exclusively. i never use the left shift for anything other than running in games.

Yes. E.g. when typing a capital ~~P~~ Q. But less often for more complex chords, I use left hand modifiers more often when using multiple modifiers.

Right shift has gotta be my least used key. I actually don't know if I've used it more than like 10 times in my life

yes - ctrl + shift ) splits the kde konsole

I forgot that it was even there lol

I use the right Shift key to capitalize when touch-typing. I only use left Shift for Ctrl+Shift+Esc.

yes it gives me access to "%", which is handy for string interpolation

Only if I need to type a capital letter with one hand

I rarely use the key as shift. It's reassigned to a different function when tapped and that's what I use it for most of the time.

I use a Dvorak keyboard to touch-type, so no, never.

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.

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

I rebound it, I never use it

Yeah, pretty sure i use it for capitalising symbols on the right of the keyboard.

In fact, i think i might use it for some of the symbols above the numbers, too.

I need to get in front of a keyboard and find out.

My keyboard has two shift keys. I don't think I've ever used the right shift key, not even for usage with emulators for consoles with a lot of buttons... the modifier is always the left shift key since it's closest to my left hand and I can have my right hand on the other side where the arrow keys are. The arrow keys, WASD, Z, X, A, S, Q,W, 1, 2 etc have always been sufficient for most games.
