Interesting things you never think about - SPACEBAR

I use my right thumb to hit the space bar. I am right handed.

On a related note, before my left shift key wore out, I used the left shift key exclusively, and I still have to put my hands in a weird position to hit the right shift key. I have to do it with my knuckle, and part of the time, I end up hitting the enter key by mistake, which has led to some awkward situations.

im not quite sure what to vote haha: I dont use my thumbs adn i also alternate my hands whilst typing and pressing that button, depending on which hand pressed the button preceeding it.

Testing...testing...okay this is a really lame way of testing. Oh woah, I actually do use...oh no wait, I just used my right thumb to hit the space bar too. Although at the moment, it seems to be mostly left thumb. Trying to see if it has anything to do with the keys I hit before and/or af- yeah, it does.

My left hand covers more of the letter keys on the keyboard, while my right has jurisdiction over a small amount of letter keys but most of the other keys. The thumb I use to press the space bar seems to be determined by which keys I press before the space, and as most of the time my left hand is the one typing, my left thumb is the one that hits the space more often. When the keys I hit right before the space are handled by my right hand, I usually hit the space bar with my right thumb (only exception is if the keys are too far to the right to be convenient).

Keys that will cause me to hit space bar with right thumb: , . U I O P H J K L N M ; ' 7 8 9 0
Keys that can cause either thumb to hit: T Y
You can probably see why my right thumb doesn't hit the space bar that often.

As a side note: when I scroll down pages using the space bar, I use my left thumb more often.

Lol INTJ_Eagle,that is indeed something people don't normally think about. But its interesting for what its worth. I hit the space bar with my right thumb, but am left handed.

i think that people who play games will tend to use the left hand. Wasd and space.

I use my left thumb for the spacebar, but my right hand is my dominant hand.


Also, what's between the ALT keys?

Who said anything about using their thumb to hit the spacebar?

I saw the title of this thread and thought it was going to be some sort of thread where you make up interesting words. I saw SPACEBAR and thought it was a bar in outer space. I was preparing myself to make up an awesome word. :'(

Usually I spend no time thinking about sports and games. I dont know why, I mean its a fantastical way to get people moving!

Lol. Feel free to derail this thread about your Spacebar endeavors. You have my permission. Seems like an interesting discussion.

Otherwise, just make another thread.
