I have a better suggestion: don't make typing mistakes. Works for me (with the help of flyspell and pc-select for overwriting the region when replacing text :-). > the large left-side control key is nice but not necessary. It's not the size that I care about; it's the home-row position. And it's frequently used no matter what I'm doing -- of course in bash, but also (on the Mac, at least) in Chrome and Firefox Ctrl-click brings up the "target" menu (ie, whether the link is copied or the linked resource is downloaded, opened in another app, opened in a new window, or opened in a new tab), and on Windows it's the modifier key for CUA. If you must have a second delete key, why not use the key at bottom left which has a pleasing symmetry?
