I don't see how that would improve anything at all. The current problem is that 
Haiku's Terminal uses other key combos than terminals on Linux (which 
apparently aren't even consistent with each other). Moving the control 
character combos to other shortcuts that aren't used on Linux either doesn't 
make the situation any better.

The Fx keys are generally left to application use.

Using a modifier that has only one key on many and none on some keyboard is a 
no-go IMO.
