What key between Ctrl & Alt? The last good[1] keyboards made (AFAIK) predate
keyboards with windows keys, so none of the keyboards I use routinely have them.
[1]good requires:
1-function keys grouped on left so that only fingers of one child's (small)
hand are required to use any combination of function key simultaneously with
any combination of shift key(s); readily usable purely by touch of an
experience user
2-standard inverted-T cursor keys with blank above up key and two blanks
above left and right keys
3-oversize Enter key
4-double width backspace key.

The conditions 2, 3, 4 are still fairly commonly met although it seems
to be harder to get such keyboard recently - at least here.
However I thought that the condition 1 was abandoned when the original
IBM AT keyboards stopped shipping :). But then a short search revealed
this one:
