Which one do you use most regularly on a keyboard?

Usually you're taught to use shift, but I always found it easier to just toggle caps lock. I don't use shift much.

Zizzy · July 29, 2016, 12:38:37 PM

Shift, unless I'm typing full words in caps. Really irritates me when people double caps lock to do a single capital letter.

Verbatim · July 29, 2016, 12:39:00 PM

Why would you use caps lock to capitalize a single letter?

Solonoid · July 29, 2016, 12:40:01 PM

Caps-Lock is just the shift key for hipsters.

Shift is a much more effective and useful key, but I do a lot of things with my keyboard other than just typing.

It feels better to me, whenever I use shift I end up breaking my flow of typing while holding the key. While caps lock mixes in.

I also didn't follow the classes where you use your whole hand for typing so I only use my index and middle.

You must not have very much experience with keyboard shortcuts.

I use shift, but I keep capitalizing my nouns when I get into it. Thanks German

Maxine · July 29, 2016, 05:19:48 PM

what kind of demented animal uses caps lock for a single letter?

Elai · July 29, 2016, 05:20:34 PM

Left shift.

What, ctrl+v?

Baby's first shortcut.

Let me know when you start needing keyboard shortcuts to male your mouse do what you want, then we'll talk about dem pinkies.

actually, it would be either ctrl+c or ctrl+x, because you need to have something cut out or copied first before you can paste it

The idea is that they had been using the copy and paste dialogue through the cursor, and needed ctrl+v for the first time when placing characters which repeat in volumes that would make the cursor dialogue ineffective.

The need to perform ctrl+v almost always presents itself before you start learning other commands in the same sequence.

I leave caps locks on and hold down shift for all the lower case like a true keyboard connoisseur

snee0rp · July 30, 2016, 12:15:47 AM

Shift: Normal posting.
Caps lock: Ironic shitposting.
None: Shitposting or low-effort trolling.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
I bought a Swype keyboard but I still press each individual letter.

left shift

Big Boss · July 30, 2016, 09:39:25 PM

What the fuck I didn't even know you could use the shift button for caps. I've ALWAYS used caps lock.

Learn something new every day I guess.

Did you know that if you find System 32 in your computer's files and delete it, you'll turn on an automatic smart program that knows when to capitalize words and when to use lower case?

Nobody ever told me.

Well at least I know now.

right shift

Ender · July 31, 2016, 08:30:00 AM

this is why they teach people how to type in middle school

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · July 31, 2016, 09:08:12 AM

i don't know how to make the letters big

velox · July 31, 2016, 09:09:05 AM

I haven't used the caps lock key to capitalize single letters since I was like eight years old.

RadicalClass32 · July 31, 2016, 09:58:04 AM

EHH, I PREFER SHIFT, BECAUSE THERE'S NO REASON TO USE CAPS-LOCK FOR A FEW CERTAIN AND SPECIFIC WORDS IN A SENTENCE THAT HAS +16 WORDS.
