I just realized that I’m right-shifted. I have been using only the right shift key for capitalization for an unknown period of time, and deliberately using the left shift key feels awkward and makes me mistype my passwords.

Are you left-handed? I feel like the reason I’m left-shifted is to keep my right index finger closer to the mouse touchpad, but that might be an after-the-fact justification.

No. Right-handed.

That’s very unusual. On a related topic, which thumb do you space with?

I use left shift, right thumb for space. 

I blame WASD gaming – if I try to use my left for space, I hold it down for a bit too long because I’m used to jumping with it in shooters.

Yeah, when I did an informal survey the vast majority of people used the right thumb for spacing. Left handers weren’t more likely to use left thumb, but I also only had two in the sample, so.

I didn’t ask what hand people shifted with, because I didn’t know anybody left shifted.

I left shift / alt / ctrl / super, which is supported heavily by the fact that keyboards are always fucking up the right hand versions of these keys and alt right gets overloaded in a lot of keyboard layouts
