It seems strange to me in a world where a huge chunk of our computing time is done on mobile devices using virtual keyboards we are stuck with rigid imitations of physical keyboards. It would be great to be able to fully customize which keys are available and where, AND which keys are available in the various alt levels of the keyboard.
As a GnuRoot / VIM user, I am often frustrated at the lack of Escape or Tab or Arrow keys. I have found a few keyboards that work fairly well, and contain these 'power user' keys. But given that in time tablets and phones may be the only computers we own shouldn't nearly every keyboard offer ALL the keys?
Perhaps someday I'll have to learn how to write keyboard apps and create such a customizable beast, so far I haven't seen any similar abominations.
