Thank you for participating in our market research. The right shift key will now be replaced with a "Grok" key. Goodbye.

That red-headed step-child? No way.
Which one is the wrong one?
I use it to wake my computer up when the display is off.
Yes, but I don't use the right control key.
I also don't use the right alt key, except for keyboards where I don't have a menu key, and don't use it as alt in that case. In both cases, I bind that to Compose.
same, I don't remember using the right control key ever

Yes. Any time I capitalize a letter on the left side of the keyboard. Isn't that normal?
Damn, that makes sense. I one hand everything with my left hand. Maybe it's because of muscle memmory from playing videogames lol

Only if I need to type a capital letter with one hand
Once every blue moon I'll use the right shift to Ctrl+Shift+m and unmute a Teams call but thats the only time I can think I've used it.
Yes. E.g. when typing a capital ~~P~~ Q. But less often for more complex chords, I use left hand modifiers more often when using multiple modifiers.
That is the exact opposite of how you're supposed to do things (assuming you're on a qwerty keyboard or other keyboard where P is typed with the right hand). The reason there are two shift keys is so that you can hold down the one that is not the one you're typing the letter with, i.e. you should be using the left shift key to type P, but the right shift key to type Q, W, E, R, etc.
Yeah, but I'm gonna one hand it anyway!
You're thinking of a different qwerty.
