I LOVE the windows key;

Windows Key+E-My Computer

Windows Key+R-Run

Windows Key+D-Minimize/undo minimize.

I use the windows key the most, apart from Alt+TAB and Alt+F4

But i think CAPS lock should be moved, and that "Insert" should be DESTROYED!!

I think ill just pull mine out!! =D

And if you go into control panel, and accessability options....you can make your computer beep when you turn on caps lock....then you always notice it!

Hmmm... To Taiwanese and maybe other Asian users Caps Lock is a little bit important because we need it to switch between IME and English input. I don't remember pressing the Caps Lock key when I actually want to press the Tab key, but I do sometimes press the Function key instead of Ctrl on my notebook. Yes, it is sometimes quite bothering.

Ctrl was immediately left of the A key for ever, before IBM decided to rearrange the PC keyboard on the IBM AT in the '80's. Computer terminals such as the famous ADM 3A all had it there. IBM decided to make the keyboard more like a typewriter. Big mistake, since virtually anyone using a PC for word processing was using WordStar which used the Ctrl key for editing, scrolling, cutting and pasting, block moves, and everything else. I still use those commands and can edit fast as heck with them (way faster than with a mouse, pgup, PgDn, arrow keys, and backspace. I can do all kinds of things like delete to end of line (Ctrl-P), delete line (Ctrl-Y) using macros I wrote for Word that emulate Wordstar. SO I always have to remap the keys. I put Ctrl where CapsLock is, put Alt where Ctrl is, and put Caps lock where ALt is. Much better layout. Currently writing about Windows Vista and realize my trust program RemapKey isn't working in Vista because it can't find the registry....:( Bob Cowart Author of 20 books about Windows including "Using Windows XP" (Que) upcoming...Using Windows Vista

you can always remap keyboard via windwos registry: 1. open regedit 2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Keyboard Layout 3. right click & add a new binary value named: Scancode Map 4. enter value: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 52 e0 00 00 00 00 5. log out; log in; - last four numbers mean: zamien 52 e0 (insert) to 00 00 (null) - the first lone 2 number describes te amount of remaped keys + terminator - at the end there's gotta be a terminator (null) - you can add more binds, just add another four increse the first numer, and don'tforget that terminator this way you can rebind every key :D die insert, die! ;) best regards miechu (wanna thank me? ;) mail me at: miechu # miechu.pl)

I personally would prefer the caps-lock to be a shortcut (shift + alt + control + C) I don't care how long, as long as it out of the way!

Why not just remap these keys? http://www.usnetizen.com/fix_capslock.html I use an IBM Laptop and missed the Windows-Key. So I just remapt the Caps Lock. - Now, Caps Lock make sense for me! ;-)

Caps Mishaps: I'm clueless about what you mean when you say that not looking at the keyboard while typing (which all reasonably fast typers do) helps in any way in not hitting the caps lock key... I would argue that it helps in accidentally hitting it, that's the point.

I think they should develop a keyboard for developers, one designed by a developer, they could call it Microsoft Developer Keyboard. It could be both good for games and development. For extended usage, and the short cut keys should be - extended find and replace and things like debugging. As for the cap lock + window keys - these are both keys I would never dream of using. I too would love to see them gone!
