Left shift. With the newer bilingual keyboards in Canada, my left pinky hates me for it though :(

Depends on which is more convenient to use at the given time. I generally stick with the left though.

^Yep. Right pinky was made for the Enter key. That other Shift key might as well not exist.

Pinky = shift.
Ring/middle finger = Q.

I wonder what they intended when they designed the layout. The right shift button is much larger after all. Personally, I always use the right one.

How much larger are we talking here? The right one on my keyboard is a little longer than the other, but not by a lot.

On mine it's the same as a normal letter key. It's fucking annoying! The intelligent solution would be to sell US systems in English-speaking Canada and the French-keyboard in Quebec but I guess all of the Canadian divisions of computer companies are secretly Bloc Quebecois.

The one time Americans have it better.

Well this discussion is a bit flawed because it's down to the keyboard layout itself, it's just common to have the right longer,

Yeah, but apparently Seb's right shift key takes up a quarter of the keyboard's real estate.

Hyperbole FTW
