    Default If you use both, you're scary.

    Which thumb (finger?) do you use to hit the Spacebar?

    Also, which pinky do you use to press Shift? Both? Other fingers?

    Which finger do you use to press Backspace? Multiple fingers!?

    Pardon the enthusiasm.

    I don't know if I ever use my left thumb to space. It kinda sits there, but unless i'm using a non-standard way of typing (ie, while i'm eating) then I can't image it ever doing anything. my right thumb always gets there first.

    I use whatever shift I need to. Actually I don't. I always use left shift. I don't use right shift unless I'm doing html or making smilies 8) <>;D;D A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z.

    Actually, I still look at the keys when I type

    I knoe rthe keujboars well qwnoudbn that I midht nor exacrly need to, buicrt I mever had any rea; leddons. So mt dingers aren;t necessaeil;lt in the tindt place, ever.

    (SPOILER)I've never tried typing and loking at the screen for any extended period of time until that.

    Spoiler2That needs a translation, on second look:

    I know the keyboard well enough that I might not exactly need to, but I never had any real lessons, so my fingers aren't necessarilly in the right place, ever.

    But I think that my no-look typing proves that, although I know the general direction of the keys, I still can't type for crap unless I'm looking at the keys.

    Hmm. Looks like I use my left hand for both. Left thumb for the spacebar, left pinky for shift. Pretty predictable, really, since I'm left-handed.

    I actually use both for the spacebar, my right pinky for the backspace, and both shifts, actually, I haven't seen how I have been writing since 8 years ago because I don't need to see the keyboard... god, I'm scary :sad:

    I really don't know which finger I use to hit spacebar, because I don't look at the keyboard, however, while I'm typing this and I'm looking at how I'm typing it I just noticed I use my right pointer finger to hit spacebar.

    I don't feel like finding the rest.

    Wow. I thought I used both thumbs for the spacebar. Just my right, it seems. Too bad I voted for both.
    Right pinky for backspace.
    Shift pinky depends on which character.

    I don't know what I use. I seem to use my right thumb for tghe spacebar more than the left (which I still use often) but I seem to be hitting the spacebar with my right index finger, really. I shift whith my left pinky (and almost never usr the right shift) and backspace with my right ring finger (right next to the pinky). Oh, I just used the right shift button to put ) in. i guess I do use it for punctuation. Really, I just use whatever finger's closest.

    And I, too, look at my keyboard, though it seems I don't really need to (writing this sentece has been relatively slow and I haven't needed to hit the backspace key much.

    Too slow, though, and not nearly as accurate.
