I use sequences of cursor motion commands all the time.  I don't really
move my hand away when I hold the left control key.  Often I hold it down
for several characters in a row.

I never type PgUp and PgDown and Home and End, because they are
so far away they would never occur to me.

This is the normal way to do cursor motion in Emacs.  You can do it
any way you like, but we should encourage people to learn this way.
