To capitalize a specific letter and/or word. To use necessary symbols requiring shift to perform(ie: $, %, *).

The SHIFT button can always be used as a keystroke specific to a certain computer program, such as in gaming or Microsoft Word.

A lot of programs also use the SHIFT button to highlight more then one complete line within a document on a computer.
