CTRL is better than ALT, because:

Super is expressive and cryptic at the same time.
You hit Super once and it's expressive.
You hold Super, then hit a key and it's cryptic.

ALT deals with cut, paste, find expressively.
CTRL already deals with cut, paste and find cryptically.

1
Things like this are like kids, they like to play together.
CTRL can be expressive and cryptic at the same time.

2
You hit modifier once for expressive.
You hold modifer, then hit a key for cryptic.
A rule can be created in the user's mind.

3
Mark complained that alt is taken.
This can free alt.


cryptic HUD action is CTRL+X and CTRL+V
