Hi,

Can someone please tell me what double shifting is and how to do it.

Thanks

Double-shifting is a technique used for fast chimneying or other precision jumping. It involves setting your "jump" key in N to Shift (this is actually the default) and using both Shift keys to jump - for example, rapidly alternating Shift keys for faster chimneying than you can achieve by pressing one Shift key. That is, unless you're ToeFaceKiller.

That is not human.

Actually, I believe there is a gerbil under his arrow key that helps him.

Umm... I can do that too... it's not that hard...

Woo, go TFK! Up arrow FTW!

Of course, if you're using a Microsoft computer you might want to change your jump key to something like Ctrl, where you can still press two keys to jump quickly but can avoid the stupid Sticky Keys notice.

There's a way to disable that notice, I think. I definitely did it back when I first downloaded N (and still used Shift; I use Z now).

Once the notice pops up, all you have to do is hit settings, and then uncheck the "use this shortcut" button.

no?

Or you can just show your skills by using it with stickeykeys on. PWN.

Sorry for getting in the discussion so late.

Well, Meta is the guy who double shifts the best, as far as I know. I can do it too, just not too fast. I'm sure I'm not pressing two keys at once though, I wonder how Meta does it.

I hope he gets a vid of himself d-shifting sometime.

I'll post a vid on monday of my awesome skills. (my parents dont approve of this forum and such so I can't do it till theyre gone).

Well, once upon a time, I had 33 on 121027, that was 0th and fastest single-key chimneying (I use up like TFK). Then kool kame along and he got 1 frame faster, also with single-key chimneying.

I've always found double-shifting, -ctrling, -upping, to be stupidly hard/irritating, so I've always single-upped ;_;. My up key has been dying in the past few weeks, so I /might/ have to switch to an awkwardly placed shift key.

Kay.

I always double shift.
