That depends on the keyboard layout, but if pressing "'" requires the
use of the right hand, then you'd need to switch to the laft for
pressing Control (unless you were chording it with the right hand, which
is probably a bad thing for anyone inflicted with RSI).

Quite certainly not. There are oodles of keybindings that really don't
work sensibly with anything but a UNIX keyboard and the whole concept is
clearly inspired by the Lisp Machine "Space Cadet" keyboard. I wish I'd
still have my Sun Type4 keyboard… Similarly, you really don't get why
anybody thought "\" was a good path separator until you take a look at
the original PC/XT keyboard (it was also a non-modifier key on most
terminal keyboards at the time, but "/" was more prominent there).
Regards,
Achim.
