I wanted to preserve the feel of a number of shortcuts that involve pressing lots of modifier keys at once; this is why the bottom left of the keyboard has shift, control, option, and command in the usual spaces. Further, some common shortcuts I press have a key on the right side of the keyboard. These shortcuts include:
- Empty Trash Without Asking for Confirmation (⇧⌥⌘⌫)
-- Shut Down Without Asking for Confirmation (⇧⌥⌘ power)
