I do use it. I press it with my right pinky when I want to capitalize letters that I type with my left hand, which is a convention of touch-typing

Yes, I use it all the time when capitalizing letters on the left half of the keyboard.

I guess if you don't touch type you don't need both shifts, but I use both mine regularly.

This is an asklemmy question..

I thought I never used it until my right shift key stopped working. I then found out that I use that thing a lot actually.

I rarely use it. While I did learn proper touch typing (on an actual typewriter back in the stone age), I mostly use the left shift key even when capitalizing letters typed with my left hand. If I use right shift at all, it's only for a few awkward letters (mostly Z).

I use neither! I hunt and peck the Caps Lock key every time I need to capitalize something.

I use my F1-F12 keys regularly and right shift modifier opens up F-13 through F-24. It's nice.

I use it way more than I use the left one. In fact, I think that I only use the later for keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+Shift+Alt+→ or ← to change workspace).

Yes, I use the key. For touch typing you should be using it whenever a letter pressed by your left hand needs capitalization.

Yes! When I'm typing in a form where hitting "Enter" acts like a "Submit" button.. I'll use "Right Shift" + "Enter" to create a line break instead of submitting the form.

This also happens with, say, chat support windows. So, not always form fields, I guess.

I only use right shift when typing. Technically not correct form for touch typing, but it's what I'm used to. Left shift is only used when gaming.

I really had to think hard and I guess I seldom use it. I touch-type but somehow my body has learnt to use only the left hand for almost all the modifier keys no matter how many keys I have to press there. It's actually a good idea that I only realise now that I should map that right shift for something else.

I used it for pick block in mc before I realised I could use 3 finger tap to emulate middle click.

I have it set up so when I hit both shifts at once it swaps my keyboard between US English and "English international deadkeys" typing since I need to be able to write in French sometimes.

I have only ever used the right shift in some game that used damn near everything on the keyboard, so left and right shift each did something unique. I wanna say ARMA but I can't remember what the function of right shift was; I just remember actually needing it regularly.

Some times I'm typing with all of one hand or all of another.

I do not (it don't exist anymore, now there's a " ' key there)

Constantly. However I have mapped my left control key so that if I tap it, it sends Escape.

@alvaro @nostupidquestions I seldom use the shift key to capitalize the letters. My left pinky always goes to caps lock rather than the left shift.
