- Is there such a beast as a Keymap editor. The 600 drives me nuts
- with those extra keys there (I'm not used to extending my pinkies
- that much -- yeah yeah uncouth Yank) :-) Anyhow I'd like to map
- them back to <shift> and <return> so that if I miss I'll never be
- the wiser. So any ideas as to how to modify the key map?
