About this lesson
This lesson mirrors the previous one. Every capital is a letter typed by your left hand, so the right Shift holds.
Many people only ever use one Shift key. That forces one hand to stretch across the keyboard for half of all capitals, which is slow and pulls the fingers off their keys. Learning both now saves that habit from forming.
Hand position
- For left-hand letters, the right little finger holds the right Shift key.
- Press Shift first, then the letter, then let both go.
- Avoid using Caps Lock for single capitals; it takes longer.
This lesson is defined by its characters rather than by key position, so it is the same on every keyboard layout. It takes about 3 minutes: six short lines, passed at 92% accuracy. Speed is not part of the pass mark.
