I hope everybody does that. I use both the left and right control keys depending
on where the "controlled" key is: C-whatever is always a two-hand operation for me.
M-x is not however (they are close enough so that left thumb and index can do the
job): both right and left Alt keys are mapped to meta so there is no reason it couldn't
be other than habit. But I probably should get out of the habit.
C-M-whatever is also a two handed operation except for C-M-x: left pinky, thumb and index
do the job, but again I should probably get out of that habit.
