CTRL key unbind
I have been using CTRL button for years now as push to talk button in Teamspeak 3. When I play Dota 2 CTRL messes up my game a fair bit.

In hero picking phase CTRL switches between views and flickers between them when I hold CTRL to speak.

In game when I speak to others by holding CTRL and try to click minimap to move my view there nothing happens because CTRL+Left Click is drawing mode for minimap.

I would love to see CTRL key bindable to other key so I could play Dota 2 with my friends without these huge irritations.

This is a very bad key to bind to PTT.

EVERY game uses the control key for something. I would suggest just changing your PTT key.

Also being that this is BETA, this isn't going to be high on their list of priorities.

The only way is to use keyboard utility to rebind CTRL.

I play HoN, BF3, Wolfenstein, Dayz, Arma etc. multiplayer games and dozen of single player games and not a single game uses CTRL for anything that can't be unbind or interferes my gaming.

CTRL is best key to PTT for me because of its easy location on keyboard. I can't imagine better button for that, maybe extra mouse button for someone who is used to it.

note how I didn't say it couldn't be unbound, just said every game uses it. And if you are FPS fan(BF3), cntl is EPIC for crouch....which is what it is always bound to in every FPS.

I use the "." key and then also bind that to a button on mouse....so I can use a key on keyboard that is NEVER used by any game, as well as a mouse button for easy access when needed.

CTRL is not even used. Besides control groups.
