Replying to [comment:15 rq]:
> Oops, I forgot that. Now tell me: the four keys that reside in the top
rows of the key blocks that happen to be under your thumbs - can you
reassign them easily?
Yes, but that doesn't mean I have any desire to.
> Really? I thought it had a Mac-style keybooard with Control, Option and
Command keys, not the one with Control, Win and Alt...
Mine at least came with a plain old AT keyboard.
> I wouldn't mind the option to swap Ctrl and Alt, like it swaps Command
and Control now. You could just use it and we would both be happy. ;)

Only if that also resulted in the same alt consistency with Terminal that
I have now. I would *not* want to have to use Alt+C everywhere and then
Ctrl+C in Terminal.
> Though yeah, you can leave it like that in order not to break Be API for
now. But I don't think it's useful in the long run, unless we find more
ways to make use of Ctrl (Mnemonic Access?), though that would result in
pointless inconsistency with two other operating systems, of which one has
~90% OS market share.
Again, I don't see the reasoning here. That argument could just as easily
be applied to everything else Haiku does differently than the dominant
OSes, at which point you may as well ask why use Haiku at all if you want
everything to work exactly like it does in Windows.
