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
