Lesson
Left Shift - capital letters
To type a capital letter, press and hold [Shift]. If you type the letter with your left hand, use the right [Shift]; if with your right hand, use the left one. Press [Shift] with your pinky. Afterwards the finger goes back to its place, as usual. At first, we suggest giving [Shift] its own beat in your typing rhythm; later you can strike it on the half-beat. This lesson practices only the left [Shift]. It also brings in the colon, which you type with [Shift] and the semicolon key.
