To add to Tony's good suggestions, the alt+{key} pairings are usually
available too. It's an extra (half-)key press in my experience but
most terminals reliably send them.

Also, "Q" (also the <shift> there being a (half-)keypress) is one
which, while it technically is used by vim, is one that is almost
never used. Except perhaps in VimGolf.

Having vimmed for over 15 years, I tend to use Q and the F{1-9} keys
for such mappings so as to not overwrite useful functionality.
