usage of (ctrl) shortcuts

[Cre3per]

Many shortcuts that are left-hand-only on qwerty require the right hand on 3l.
This makes it inefficient to use 3l in programs where the right hand usually resides on the mouse, e.g. browser, inkscape.

Default shortcuts, for system and surfingkeys, all left-hand-only on qwerty:

• ctrl-c Copy
• ctrl-v Paste
• ctrl-f Find
• x/ctrl-w Close Tab
• ctrl-t New Tab
• r/ctrl-r Refresh
• ctrl-s Save
• Some more niche shortcuts

How do you (Authors/Users) use programs with such shortcuts?
Why isn't 3l mirrored left-to-right (Seeing that these are common shortcuts)?

I personally find right-handed shortcuts easier. (E.g., LCtrl+C is easy to press as it's on two different hands).

LCtrl+F can be harder to press as it requires a slight hand shift to reach for Ctrl with Lpinky and F with Lring.

However, to each their own! I've seen variant layouts of other layouts keep QWERTY-style Ctrl combinations --- i'd be open to accept a variant of 3l in this repo for that (i.e., 3l-ctrl-qwerty).

@jackrosenthal I agree that right-handed shortcuts are easier to press. The problem arises when the right hand is resting on the mouse and has to be lifted back to the keyboard to press a shortcut.

I'd rather not move individual keys as that would change 3l's typing distance.
I'm currently experimenting with a full mirror, would something like this be an acceptable variant? (unstable)

(not sure about mirroring all layers)

3l is my first time trying out alternative layouts, all feedback is welcome
