I know you want to use hardware keycodes, but here are (IMHO) the reasons why we should stick with the PC/XT layout: 1) Simple - only one keyboard layout to deal with. 2) Compatible - This layout works with operating systems from MS-DOS 1.0 to Ubuntu Linux 12. 3) Less work - no major code changes. 4) Good enough - does work with Mac OS X. 5) Would Mac keyboard keycodes work with Windows, AIX, Solaris, and OS/2? Doubt it.

I am thinking of eliminating the -command-key option and just doing the above suggestion. Anybody else have their own idea for solving the command key issue?
