The real solution is to stop using single key stroke shortcuts.

suggested that it would be much better to use more meaningful
sequences.
For example while holding down the command key type "exp" as a unique
initial sequence to the "expose" command. Or "spaces" for spaces,
etc. For
GROSS!! Try telling someone with a handicap that they'll have to hold
the command key AND type multiple keys. It's also not a very fast way
to do things like Exposé Desktop, something that I want fast access
to. All I want is for Apple to stop stealing F14 and F15 for
brightness. I've never changed the brightness on any desktop machine
after the initial setup of a new monitor. It's just plain goofy to
think that changing the brightness requires instant access. I've
suggested they make it like how F12 will open the disc drawer *after*
it's held down for a second. Do the same for brightness and then
slowly increase/decrease it as long as the key is held down. Then I
can get back to use those very handy keys for much more important
tasks. Yes, Fkeys are a very rant-worthy issue. C'mon Apple! Listen
up, please.
