Why are you doing a survey?

Ctrl stands for Control and Shift for Shift in the German Shift key.

Shift means shift: With a mech. Typewriter are both letters on a type lever, by shift this was shifted so that the capital letter hit the tape instead of the lower case. (To be honest, I would have to look up how it was with typewriter machines). In any case, there was a mechanical shift.

Ctrl means control. Well, at least there Control was not translated with control * laughs *.

I didn't know and I didn't want to research

Why a survey?

Thank you.

Because I can…

I mean why are you writing a survey with multiple answers?

It doesn't make any sense for this question.
