Capital Letters & Shift
Shift + letter
Capitals trip up a lot of typists because they reach for the nearest Shift with the wrong hand. The rule is simple: Shift with the opposite hand from the letter.
The opposite-hand rule
Typing a capital S (left hand)? Hold the right Shift. Typing a capital P (right hand)? Hold the left Shift. This keeps one hand free to press the letter cleanly while the other holds Shift.
Using the same-hand Shift forces an awkward claw and is the #1 cause of sloppy capitals.
Keep the rhythm
Press and release Shift as part of the same beat as the letter — hold, strike, release. With practice it stops feeling like two actions and becomes one.
Tip: Shift with the hand opposite the letter — always.
