Same for programmers who do their own keymapping. You should really use the
default keymap and not a hardwired one. Also bad is disallowing the ALT key
(like Aztec SDB, e.g.); example: the '@' is ALT-2 on a german keyboard. Ever
tried to use the formatted print command (of sdb) w/o '@' hahahahaha :-{ .
