I don't get it. There's already a ctrl on the left reachable with left pinky. What is missing is right-ctrl which you often need (tmux, vim, emacs...).

Similar to caps lock being ctrl when held and escape when tapped, I set up return to be ctrl when held and return when tapped. Nice keyboard symmetry this way too.
