    Not Excel, just general computer usage- my daughter refuses to Control-C and Control-V and right clicks instead and it drives me nuts.

      Like my wife who uses Caps Lock to create capital letters. I’ve told her to use shift but she’s too far gone.

        This could be a typewriter holdover. I have vague recollections of some shitty '70’s typewriters having only a caps lock (or rather shift lock) toggle to save on two keys. I might have hallucinated that, though. It’s been a while.

        Or she is just being obtuse. I don’t know how old you two are.

          We’re in our 40’s, so not old enough for typewriters. I do remember my dad had one at his workplace though!

      It’s all fun and games until they find a text box control that doesn’t have the right click menu enabled. Then they’re baffled.
