Why would you remap the left option key to ctrl when you already have two left ctrl keys (caps and original ctrl) ? I do set the right option key to ctrl but only in iterm and emacs.

Because I'm bad at writing! (I meant right-option)

You have no idea what I am doing with the esc, capslock, and control keys on the left side of my keyboard, but none of them are default.

On the right however I'm just trying to make sure I get a forward delete somewhere. In fact using Karabiner or Seil, the right shift is now shift if pressed as a modifier, but forward delete if pressed alone.
