Tell HN: Have just discovered that I can use any key as Ctrl on my keyboard\

Sorry if this is silly but today I have discovered that my (pricey, I know) Ergodox-ez keyboard (but I assume any other "programmable" keyboard should work likewise) allows for any key to be programmed either for "press" or "hold". And after more than a year using an uncomfortable configuration for my wrist (I use emacs a LOT), I have set 'j' to behave as CTRL when hold. And then my mind has blown up. No more weird thumb positions, or elongated pinkies. I had done this with one of the large thumb keys for space when pressed, Meta when hold, but I had never imagined using 'j' (or, say 'f') for that.
