Well Mary, First of all, my Mac Book Pro keyboard doesn't appear to have they key you're talking about. You see, My unit has no built in Number keypad; so, I have a USB driven number keypad which I sometimes use or not depending on how I feel at the moment. On my keyboard, there's only one control key; on the left side. That makes it a little annoying to use key strokes like control+VO+t for moving from table to table or the shift versions of those keys. What I do for now is just cross my right hand under my left and press the control key with my right index finger. Sure, I could, if I really wanted to, use a USB full keyboard, but, I'm not to do that. I do hope you'll like your Mac when you get it. I know I had to go through quite a learning curve but I love mine. I haven't obtained the level of proficiency that some others here have, but, I do believe I made the right decision to switch. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
