Can a toggling Ctrl key button go at the top of the virtual keyboard in the browser?

The Ctrl key enables access to many features unavailable in the native browser due to its absence. It is present in the Terminal GUI. In the browser virtual keyboard it would fit in the same line that predictive text options appear, for example on the right for LTR languages and on the left for RTL languages, on the alpha-, numeric symbol (1/2) and currency symbol (2/2) displays.

Adding this capacity to the GUI and its related functionality could lead to resolution of many outstanding GUI interaction blockages and bug reports. If not, it might at worst allow incremental resolution of individually reported issues.
