  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

  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).

  @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. (Checking if cross-posting works)

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

  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.

  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.
