Yes that's the way to go (for touch typists) it leaves your fingers in
the home position. But I think it's more natural (and more symmetric
in the line of the shift key and capital letters) when you are also
using the right CTRL key. For example C-f is done with the outside of
your right bale on the right CTRL key and of course with the left
index finger. You can better reach e.g. C-6 (as prefix argument) and,
I think, it's more natural for these C-M-[adb] commands, pressing 3
keys with on hand at the same time is quite a feat.
