What's with the lack of useful choices of transmit key on eve voice? I should be able to transmit with a non-already-taken left hand key while my right is using the mouse.

Left Ctrl: I need this for Ctrl-Click locking of targets
Left Alt: I need this for resizing probes
Right Ctrl: my right hand is using the mouse, moving left hand bad
Right Alt: as above
Keypad 0: Again, right hand on mouse
Right Shift: fail again
Middle Mouse: sub-optimal, middle mouse press keeps you from using the mouse for other things at the same time

What *would* be useful:

Left Shift (why the hell is there Right Shift and no Left Shift?)
Tab

or custom key binds

Button 5 on the mouse would also work. I know not all mice have that extra button (or two). But that doesn't seem to be a problem in other applications that use voice comms.

So custom bindings would be great, a system that detects what buttons you press when you want to change, even if they are buttons limited to certain devices (like the extra keys on some mice).
