Same here, it seems the most natural combination.  In fact my pinky  
always takes the control key.  Then ring finger is either shift or  
option.  For control-shift-option, my ring finger takes the shift key  
and my middle finger handles option.  I think its just a matter of  
letting your hand try the keystroke and see where it ends up.  Try not  
to use your brain for these simple tasks. :)
