@Felthry I tend to use the right shift pretty much exclusively too, I think. When typing letters. For things like shift-tab and shift-clicking things and shift-arrows I tend to use left shift.
@IceWolf when do you need to use shift arrows?

@Felthry Selecting text, and in Vim I use it for scrolling!
@IceWolf oh, right, selections
forgot about that

@Felthry ...OOPS I voted too early without introspecting enough.
@Felthry I tend to use right shift more than left shift since it's on the right side where most symbols reside (those symbols include ;:_[¨*]?¡=).
Also, the pipe operator (|) does not need a shift key on my keyboard, it's accessible with a single key press.
@Felthry I was taught touch-typing in high school, and I still use those patterns, which means using the shift key opposite the side of the keyboard of the word I want to capitalize. effectively, most of the time I'll be using the right side shift, because of the spread of how letters are used, but it's mechanically determined, not my own preference at all. yay training! ?
in writing this, since I don't usually capitalize words in informal writing at all, the only word I'm consistently capitalizing is "I," which is on the left side of the keyboard and therefore I'm using the right side shift key to capitalize it. so *right now* I'm using the right shift far more than the left. But if I were to Capitalize Random Words, I'd be using both of them More Or Less Evenly?
context for this: we use almost exclusively the right shift (even typing things like |, yes that's awkward) and we've noticed some pain in our right little finger lately and i wonder if they're related
