it may surprise you to learn that the stick shift is on the other side in countries that drive on the left. Entire generations, regardless of handedness grow up using the other hand to operate it and thats kinda just normal, like with the wasd example from earlier

(although of course unlike your example it doesn't involve reaching across one's body to use it)

I'm a righty but managed to drive a stick-shift in Ireland without too much difficulty. I wonder if it actually helped that everything was on the "wrong" side (driver's seat and steering wheel, stick shift, traffic direction) -- bc I was forced to remain focused and deliberate about everything at all times. That said, navigating my first few roundabouts I found myself verbalizing the flow and my intentions, to suppress my instincts and merge smoothly. (Tangent: speaking thoughts out loud is a useful hack in many situations!)
