After ten years of using CW almost daily I tried a straight key for the
first time. I was amazed at how simple it was to form characters; the
spacing was built in to me. My K2's keyer with paddles made my ears
(and muscles) sensitive to the variety of spaces we use. I can't use a
straight key for long because of wrist injuries but it is nice to know
how easy it is to use if I have to.

Most people can send with either hand suing a keyer.
Just make sure your thumb is making the dots.
You may not THINK you can until you try it.

Nick, KZ2V is also right handed, but sends left handed, so he's another. (I
don't know if he can send right handed.)

Here's one. In college I was rooming with a left-handed ham about the
time I was switching from a straight key. So I learned on his
left-handed bug. To this day I can send with either hand on a bug or
keyer.
