Oh, it could be done, with special software that provided a way to toggle among several key-maps and interpreted the keys differently in each one. But to use it a user would have to basically learn to type all over again -- this time without the benefit of the key caps accurately showing them what characters they'd be inserting. That would create a very high hurdle to jump before this thing would be at all usable. It would be a considerably-worsened version of the high-bar effect that prevents widespread emacs adoption. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
