Yeah, if you have thumb clusters I definitely recommend putting modifiers on them. The thumb is one of the strongest digits, yet most only use them (or one of them!) to press a single key, the spacebar. What a waste.

On my ergodox the two big thumb keys on the left are control (escape when tapped) and alt. I don't use the other thumb keys as they aren't comfortable to type. The two right thumb keys are space and enter.

My thumbs have thanked me for the past nine years.
