I tend to use right shift for pretty much everything. The arrow glyph has worn off the key I use it so much.
Important factors:
British English keyboards, like the one I have, tend to be ISO, with a larger shift key on the right. Bigger target. Easier to hit.
I have at least a couple of passwords that each have at least one shifted character from the left side of the keyboard and it’s much easier to use both hands when I need to type those.
It might even go back to the fact that most of my early typing was on a Commodore 64C and the positions of surrounding keys. Hitting shift-lock or run/stop by mistake would have been a nuisance. Caps lock isn’t quite as annoying because it’s not a literal mechanical toggle, but even so, the right shift avoids that particular error.
Yes. Any time I capitalize a letter on the left side of the keyboard. Isn’t that normal?
That is the way I was taught, but not the way I did it then. Never developed the habit, so I never do it.
Damn, that makes sense. I one hand everything with my left hand. Maybe it’s because of muscle memmory from playing videogames lol
