In general this is true, but there are exceptions: for example, to
produce Ctrl-] on my Belgian keyboard, I need (as I said) to use
AltGr-Ctrl-$, which is not the easiest combination, and in addition, I
only recently discovered that the keyboard was able at all to produce
it. But I agree that Jorge's examples (u to k and k to l) are not
recommended; even if you use a Dvorak keyboard it is not recommended to
map the letters around in the mistaken intention of getting the hjkl
commands under the four fingers of your unmoving right hand.


Best regards,
Tony.
