I performed a bit of a test last night. Being a rightie, I was having a sandwich and tried typing with just my left hand. Back in high school, I took a typing class, yeah, that's right. Primarily because the teacher was fresh out of college and was a honey, and the class was all girls (ambient stimuli).
Anyway, I learned to type with both hands, using proper finger placement. But after years of abuse, my fingers don't work as well, and I hunt and peck with both hands, mostly with the index fingers. But what was unique, just knowing where on the keyboard all the keys are didn't matter. Using just the left hand was like starting over. I guess it's that familiarity with which keys are purposed for the right and left hand.
