Have there been studies done to obtain key-usage statistics? 
This would seem to be a necessary first step to developing
standards. Perhaps then we could have keyboards optimized for UNIX,
for text input, etc. Of course, that could lead to proposals for
keyboards optimized for EMACS, vi, lisp, etc. At any rate, it would
give some objective data to use in making designs.
