At least try a "unix style" keyboard -- one that has the
control-key just to the left of "A".

Holding down control when it's located there is *VASTLY* easier,
ZERO contortion required, than down where it's located
on PC-style keyboards, which I find actually *painful*, having
to contort my left-pinky angled south-south-west, which the
pinky-bones are absolutely *not* designed to do.

Where to get such a keyboard? Sun sells both kinds for plugging
into a pc-style socket.

Give it a try.
