I think you are unusual, I cannot imagine contorting my hand into the position required to type C-z or C-x if the control key was to the left of 'A'. Well, that shows a difference! I find that with my pinky over the control key to the left of 'A', my first finger is over the `X' key. C-x requires no change of my normal hand. The implication for this discussion is that different people use their keyboard differently, and it is wise to create a set of keybindings that work for these different hands. -- Robert J.
