The best key for a touch typist on a standard keyboard is the one labelled "Caps Lock", just to the left of the a key. (There have been web sites devoted to hatred of this key when used as caps lock, and a lot of applications, f. ex. Microsoft Word, have kludges to correct for its being pressed inadvertently.) So, what a lot of people do, is make it a control key, by mapping it. With X11 one has a .xmodmaprc file: clear Lock add Control = Caps_Lock add Lock = Scroll_Lock and with windows some registry scan code mappings, see http://www.usnetizen.com/fix_capslock.php.
