I'm typing this on a keyboard that has no right control key anyway,
Me too, but I fixed it. I'm on a laptop. I hope you are too, otherwise you must have been suckered into buying one of those HHKs with the defective layout.
but regardless…the standard control key position is so horrendous that it is more efficient to use capslock for all of the right-handed keys and most of the left-handed ones as well. You cannot seriously tell me that ^A is a strain on my left hand that would justify either moving my right hand off the main keyboard or bending my right pinky back to that awkward angle. Symmetry be damned.
Move your Control hand, dummy. You can't seriously be telling me this is so much work for you that it justifies moving your typing hand off the letter keys
and stretching your fingers across the keyboard, eventually ruining your wrists. And then once you've done that, you know what you'll say? “QWERTY did it.” I'm well familiar with this MO.
