   I've had an idea rolling around in my head for a
while & I thought I'd post it up here & see what people 
think of it. A number of programs these days are
starting to use shift-control sequences (I know of
PaperClip and the Express! terminal programs). I think
it would be neat to have an alternate keyboard that has
these keys as seperate function keys. For example, S-C
1-0 could be F1-F10, S-C P could be print screen, etc.
Making standards like this would help in software 
development since users wouldn't have to learn a whole
new set of keys for each program. Opinions?
