Your opinion which neither I nor 100,000s of others share -- you stand alone.
A [Ctrl] to the left of [A] is natural and what I've been using since the
mid-1960s with absolutely NO problems or RSI whatsoever beginning with a
TTY ASR33 and continuing with a Datapoint 3300, DEC VT100, Datamedia DT80
and others along the way to today.
Mapping and using the [Caps Lock] as a [Ctrl] to the immediate left of [A]
is no different than the ["] to the immediate right of [;] re: pinkies.
The (dumb) PC standard of a [Ctrl] key at the lower-left of a keyboard is
ridiculous and WILL cause pinky problems if one uses Emacs as an editor and
bash as a shell.
