It really does hinder entering mixed case text. 1. Here's the present behavior that trips me. I'm holding Shift to enter capitalized text and hit the Space bar to add a space before the next word (usually in caps, too). 2. Apparently the rule is stateless. How about adding state? 3. Proposal (casual spec): Merely holding Shift down doesn't cause Space to be treated as column select. Instead, Space immediately after pressing (and while holding) Shift is treated as column select. (That is to say, if Shift was already pressed down when the PREVIOUS key was typed, then Space while Shift is down simply enters a space, the same as if Shift were up.) 4. Proposal (alternate): Require holding the RIGHT Shift key down while pressing Space bar, since many touch typists heavily use the left Shift key for typing (as distinct from a mouse substitute).
