Comment (by jscipione):
The other day I was reading the following article:
[http://arstechnica.com/hardware/news/2011/09/ultrabook-intels-300
-million-plan-to-beat-apple-at-its-own-game.ars]
The article on Ars Technica by Peter Bright is about a guy who won't use a
Mac laptop because he prefers the UK keymap found on PCs (BS 4822) to the
one on the Mac UK keyboard. He includes some nice screenshots highlighting
the differences between the 2 keyboards in the article. This is a perfect
example of when someone would want to use the PC UK layout on a Mac
keyboard rather than the Mac UK layout, but, would also want to flip the
command and option modifier keys, thus invoking the functionality
presented in this ticket.
Besides, flipping between Haiku mode and Windows/Linux mode makes no sense
on a Mac keyboard, it becomes a ternary choice rather than a binary one.
