                That sounds like a good idea.  Perhaps someone like
                CMD would make one.  Apart from the lack of
                replacements, there is the fact that we all ought to
                be getting used to standard keyboard layouts,
                esp. with regard to the control key which is used
                often in systems like emacs.
