I have it on good authority that Sean Wrona, possibly the fastest typist in the world, does this too. When you really think about it, there’s nothing wrong with doing it that way, but I agree that it feels wrong and weird.

when I was younger, instead of just using shift, i used to press the caps lock key and then turn it off lol
My wife does this and it drives me crazy!
Psst, check out my reply to the parent comment :) your wife might be right, though I’m firmly on your side

Edit: found a quote from his website:
Didn’t we all. Tiny me’s fingers were not long enough to hold shift and click another key at the same item.
