How many people are used to swap thusters and rotation keys?

IMHO, using the trusters with the left hand is much easier, expecially when you have to use the mouse or joystick to aim.
With the trusters on the QWEASD keys you can simply keep your left hand on the same place and move your right hand around.
With the actual default, instead, when you are piloting with both hands on the keyboard and you need to aim with mouse or joystick, you'll move your right hand to the mouse, and then, you must also move your left hand to the UIOJKL keys... which is awkward.

Obviously, I'm talking as a right-handed person that keeps the mouse at the right. :)

I swap them, except for the QE roll, and I put the up-down to RF. For the same reason, left hand on translation, right on mouse. Even though I'm left handed, but I use the mouse with my right hand.

I use RF for the set speed control, so i have all my thuster's keys are on the right side.

I think that this swapped configuration would be more sane/ergonomic default.
