Another personal one is that I recently added a good 6 inches to my desk
by getting a keyboard that has the number pad and arrow keys integrated
into the main keyboard like some of those notebook-type PCs -- with the
result that the Ctrl key is small and second from the far left.

Oh, why not :)  When I submitted my patch to go directly to the home page
rather than have the Y/N prompt, one of the complaints about it was that
I had "stolen" one of the few remaining keys left in Lynx.  I never
understood this arguement.  I didn't steal a key, I simply swapped [Mm]
for [Ww] (= WWW Home).

And another thing I don't understand is why "y", "t", "w" (I'd prefer that
to be "m") and "f" aren't available for four last functions in browser
mode?  In my Lynx, they don't map to anything.  I could see "f" as a natural
for editing in a _F_orm, or "t" for editing a _T_extarea.
