[Arturo Orlando <822872@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have though of another way of explaining the problem: imagine you only
had a right shift key, and not also a left one. Now force yourself to
input capitals (and other second level keys) of right-hand keys through
that right shift only, instead of pressing the left shift with your left
little finger and the key with your right hand (which is recommended
practice). Following the rules of good touch typing, you will also have
to keep your unused fingers on the home row. Try this repeatedly for all
right hand keys (keeping your little finger on the right shift key). See
how uncomfortable that was? It’s even impossible for keys that would
pertain to the little finger: you have to move your whole right hand
(bad practice) to type those! That’s pretty much what we European users
face due to the lack of a default left-hand third-level chooser.
