/Here is some text from the author that may help some in using Iambic. -

"4 years ago, I made an on-the-fly YouTube video 
<https://youtu.be/CVnTMsqFBzg> holding my phone in my left hand to 
record the video while demonstrating the difference between keying a 
paddle using iambic B and non-iambic (al'a single lever paddle style).  
The video has had over 20K/(100,000)/ views at this point.  So, if 
someone wants to see the difference and what letters you can key iambic, 
take a look here: https://youtu.be/CVnTMsqFBzg

There are 7 letters you can key squeezing on an iambic paddle. ~27% of 
the 26-letter alphabet. (The video shows the most popular iambic mode B 
which usually is the default these days on any Keyer).  The "Iambic 
Seven" letters are C, Q, K, R, L, F and Y.  As others have mentioned and 
the video shows, you can simply use the paddle with or without squeezing 
keying those letters.  If you are going try and learn iambic keying, I 
would stick with mode B, due to it being pretty standard these days.  
i.e. if you operate and someone else's shack."
