That is the strangest suggestion I've heard in a while. I have a simple 
test for you:

Put your right hand at the top of your head, then press down and hold 
ASDF while hitting Ctrl. If you are able to do that, please write an 
article about it. Now do the same thing, but instead of pressing Ctrl, 
press Alt. You _are_ able to do that, right? Might be a little 
unfamiliar if you don't do it that often, but you are able to. That is 
why Alt is more suitable as a default than any other key on the 
keyboard, except maybe Caps-Lock, but that's in use by developers all 
the time, so that shouldn't be default.

In any case, you should be able to write with both hands. Always.
