Wrong, imho. If the non-modifier key is on the right side of the keyboard, many users tend to press left-ctrl/right-alt/non-mod-key. Trust me. We had kind of the same discussion 10 or so years ago. > I assume you have a German keyboard and could test whether my suggestion > is consistent with the behavior of linux and xterm. No, I have a US keyboard running only US systems. But it doesn't matter. You can simply change to another keyboard layout using the Windows Language Bar, after you have added the keyboard layout by using the "Regional and Language Options" control panel, independent from the language of the installed Windows.
