I don't think adding a key is the best answer. I think the best answer is to have the option in System Preferences to turn them off or change them as you can with Exposé (although that popup with every combination on it seems like a poor interface for setting the keys you want).

But they already have -- on laptops. Apple has the Fn key on every laptop.


I don't. I agree they go overboard. I'm in the camp that thinks people should be able to customize their computers. They paid a lot of money for them, they often have to use them for several hours a day, and everyone has different work habits.

Read my message again. I didn't say the user couldn't customize them. I just said that APPLE should be pre-defining all these keys. I'm all for letting the user customize their key shortcuts. The problem is that that entire list is PRE-DEFINED which means that if you want to use them, you have to remove the hot-key first, and then add it for your customization.

My gripe is that Apple is encroaching on user's keystroke space more
and more with each new release. That leaves fewer options for the user
to customize.
