I had a problem with touch-typing. My little finger wasn't strong enough to casually lift the entire mechanism. So, for a capital 'F', instead of a little finger and the key, it was my whole right hand on the right shift while I pressed that key.

Fred, I take it that you don't play piano!
I did, a little. Also, baritone, flute, and tuba, until they realized that I wasn't exaggerating about how bad my hearing is. (my sister plays French Horn and alphorn, with occasional other brass, such as baritone, and a left-handed flugle-horn) but a piano key, an octave away, was not the same amount of force that it took on the manual Royal to get upper case - the entire mechanism had to be lifted. By the time that my little finger muscles built up, I was solidly in the habit of using my other hand. And then it felt strange to have shift keys that only took the same force as a regular key.
