I find that standard keyboards, with the control-key down at the
bottom, a real pain to use with emacs, vi, and any other program
that uses control-chars as commands.
Sun (er, oracle) makes that type of keyboard, but
also makes one with the control key immediately left
of the "A" key, where it was on the original
teletype-like machine (name escapes me now, but it
ended in "33").
That placement sure makes it easier to use programs
like emacs and vi.
