    I mashed the little finger on my right hand last night and tore off about half the nail. Unfortunately, that's the finger I use for the Shift key. :mad:

      At last, a sensible suggestion! (Not very practical in the middle of a cube farm, but still...)

        So, you need to shift hands then?

            I originally read that as the "Shit key" - and I would have to agree. :-D

              No, but there is a guide here on Converting C# to COBOL[^] - that's all SHOUTY as well!

                I'm surprised nobody else said that. And, being the age I am, I learned to type on a typewriter with blacked out keys. We learned to shift with either hand... but I find myself always using my left hand... odd.

                  I'm originally a hunt-and-peck typist(*). While I use most of the fingers on both hands, I 'prefer' specific fingers for certain keys. Interestingly, my right hand is more flexible on the keyboard even though I write left-handed. (*) My mother is a classically trained typist who could manage 90 words per minute on an IBM Selectric typewriter. She can't watch me type on a computer keyboard without turning a bit green :-D.

                    Curious - are you left handed? I'm right-handed and use my left hand pinky for the shift key. I Just Tried Typing This With My Right-Hand Pinky and it was a painfully slow experience, not to mention that my left hand pinky kept twitching "I want to do it!" :rolleyes:

                      Same here. Shifting with the right hand just feels wrong for some reason :)

                        Sure it. Practical, in the sense of making the Powers That Be rethink the office environment.

                          Yup, although I'm a collaborationist leftie. I use scissors with my right hand, fire a pistol right-handed, etc. I throw a baseball or swing a tennis racket with my left. The deciding factor seems to be precision tasks I do with my left hand, strength tasks with my right. I've measured my grip strength at the gym, and my right hand is measurably stronger than my left.
