For those who find some key combinations awkward, I'll point out that
when you're taught to type properly, you find out that two-key
combinations are supposed to be done with two hands.  One hand does the
qualifier, the other does the key.

i.e. For qwerty, you'd do right hand CTRL key, left hand C key.

You're not supposed to do them one-handed, no keyboard is really suited
for that.  That's why it's painful to do.  It's also one of the reasons
that we have shift and caps lock keys.
