Heh, apparently not. Everyone else has the Caps Lock and Winkey, so you're the 
exception, not the rule.

As for Alt+Tab, what about making it open the traditional dialog box, but with 
the option of using arrow keys to jump around more quickly? Or something, 
because I'll be the first to admit that it's ugly, annoying, and frustrating. 
If I have twelve applications open, pressing Alt+Tab ten times to get to the 
application I used ten times ago, I've wasted my time. Or Alt+Tab could 
highlight the tasks in the taskbar, and the arrow keys could allow one to 
navigate through them. Letting go would then bring that application to the 
forefront.

Just two cents tossed out in a rush.
