Poll: What is the Shift key used for?

[MercenaryCanary]

I use it because I think CAPS LOCK IS LAZY. YOU WILL TAKE A SMALL EFFORT TO RAGE, GOD DAMN IT.

Well I got TWO count 'em TWO shift keys. So I used it a lot. Like when I typed TWO I used shift. I rarely ever use caps lock

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I don't think I ever use the Caps Lock key, except when I have it bound to something in a game. For typing, I use the Shift key for my capitalization needs.

It's actually pretty hard for me to envision why the Caps Lock key exists in the first place, since typing in all caps is basically considered SHOUTING AT YOUR AUDIENCE and turning on a toggle that makes everything you type capital letters just to capitalize one letter is silly.

I use it as the select button on my NES emulator.

 

[Hollock]

I use the shift key whenever applicable. Pro tip: you can use the shift key in conjunction with the arrow key to highlight words,documents, ect. Why would anyone not use it. It seems like it would take waay more effort to turn it on and off constantly.

 

[Kinichie]

I use it as the 'run' key, usually.

I learned to touch type so it's not that difficult to just go over there and hold it for a couple seconds to get a capital letter with my pinkie. Before I learned to type without looking I used the caps lock all the time... but now it's just so much slower. I can type fast! type type type type. And I'm not even looking at the keyboard, aren't I a special child.

This is a pretty shifty thread.

Somehow I bet someone will read that wrong. Shift is awesome by the way.

I've never understood how people can go without using the shift key. I always use it. All the time. Shift. Shift. Shift. Shift.

[Spiner909]

I favor Caps Lock. I just type really fast, so I don't bother with shift.

What people actually use the caps lock just to capitalize the beginning of sentences?

That just seems awkward :/

 

[hebdomad]

[Zildjin81]

I use the shift key for symbols and single caps, just like all other normal human beings.

Do you want to turn on Sticky Keys?
