    Yes, it's a good move for people using control a lot.  I am using evil mode in emacs so I have the escape in the same place.

    I also use homerow mods which i find really great.

    With the homerow mod, the homerow keyas 'asdf' and 'jkl;' are mirrors of 'gui, alt, ctrl, shift'

    So the a key is an a except of you hold it down and press another key, in that case it is the gui key.

    It works really well in emacs as well as on my tiling window manager where there is a lot of use of the combinations. (I have no idea why my font appears different)
