I set the key left to the spacebar (usually Alt or Cmd) to act as Ctrl in Emacs, so I can press it with my left thumb. This can be done in the Emacs config like this

  (setq mac-control-modifier 'command)
  (setq mac-command-modifier 'control)
  (setq mac-option-modifier 'meta)
  (setq mac-control-modifier 'super)

Note that these variables are specific to the Mac Port (https://bitbucket.org/mituharu/emacs-mac/src/master/). They use an `ns` prefix instead of `mac` in a build based on the GNU mainline. And presumably something else entirely on another OS.

It's mac-specific, but not Yamamoto port specific. You can also find them in the vanilla EmacsForMacOSX port https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsForMacOS#toc24

Huh, I see. I stand corrected.
