Close but not entirely correct.
You can relocate your lctrl to where it should be with a switch on an
Omnikey. Now, where in turn does the clock go? The lower-leftmost
corner of the layout?
No. Your clock is next to your _space bar._ And your Alt is where you
might have imagined the clock would go. Down below the Shift.
This is how Omnikey rearranges the keytops. If you heavily rely on the
Alt key like I do, Omnikey may not be your satisfying answer.
Just so some of you know before buying an Omnikey. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
