So cool - I've never heard of this. Going to look into it more!
I use both thumbs on a standard keyboard but predominantly my right (if my left is closer in the range of letters I'm typing it will hit it at times). I was in the (I'm hoping last) group of girls to do typing classes blindfolded (secretary careers were dreamed for us) so hopefully learned touch typing the right way! I miss the days when writing a word count p/m on a resume was considered my achievement 😂
Now I sometimes switch between a US english and French keyboard (my mac is in french azerty but I switch it to the english version and just touch type the keys from memory when writing in english or dutch). What I've found fascinating is because of my habits its often easier for me to write french with the qwerty layout anyway (although a pain for some common letters/accents) but on the phone I much prefer to use the french layout when typing french and I've noticed my fingers have habituated much more to that layout even when typing english and switching to the english keyboard (which causes me frequent errors now). I partly think this is maybe because I've always changed how I've typed on a phone (i.e starting with the Nokia and the three hits for each number) whereas my typing on a computer never changed.
I'm writing this reply to check which thumb I use. It's the right one.

Ok going to stop here! Interesting Q!
