It's funny you should mention that - I only ever use the left shift key,
even when the other key to be pressed is under that hand. Rather like
double-stopping a violin :)

I expect the users who were tested were not that familiar with the keyboard
shortcuts.
It's obviously faster to make a few keystrokes that navigating a set of
menus with a mouse.

And yet, the actual research on this subject completely contradicts
that user perception. That is, Apple and Microsoft's usability labs
have run the tests many times and mousing is faster than keyboarding.
It's counterintuitive to me, but them's the facts.
And the tests run by third parties?
I don't know. While one could say that Apple had an agenda, MS came
late to that ballgame.
Why would Apple and Microsoft have an incentive to misrepresent the
research? What good would it do them to design their products to be
less useful than they could be?
