Is there any way I can use Right control instead of left in computercraft? Myne is busted.

You could detour the os.pullEvent function to have it return the left-control key code when it gets the right-control keycode. Something like this:
local oldPullEvent = os.pullEvent
function os.pullEvent(e)
local eventData = oldPullEvent(e)
if eventData[1] == "key" and eventData[2] == (whatever your leftctrl keycode is) then
eventData[2] = (whatever your rightctrl keycode is)
end
return unpack(eventData)
end

I didn't. Running the code I gave you in startup should change the key events to trick programs into thinking you are pressing lctrl, instead of rctrl. To my knowledge, the fact that edit doesn't accept rctrl for the menu selection isn't a bug.
