	This isn't the kind of response you're looking for, but the GS
has this capability already.. It's called Sticky Keys...

	From what I believe, you tap a control or shift key a few times and
then it's as if it was continually pushed until you hit the key again.

	Hey, seems to be a good reason to me to go from a //e to a GS!
