  12. Sarah,
  13.     Only one small suggestion (actually explanation, I guess).  I'm sure
  14. that most of the "redundancy in some of the commands" in the CTRL keyboard
  15. are for laptops: those without all of the function keys that work as well
  16. (or at all) as normal keyboards do.  Since NB "maps" the entire keyboard,
  17. and has (potential) work for all possible combinations to do, something needs
  18. to be done for those laptops that can't easily reproduce some of the
  19.  combinations,
  20. like with the "gray" keys.
