Only as far as the non-alpha keys are concerned. But Metatools are definitely not a problem (apart from the fact that the German keyboard has three more alpha keys that cannot be used for Metatools). I think there may be a slight misunderstanding here: The control key on the Mac does not work the same way as the control key on Windows. It is not used to access any specific ASCII characters (and I disagree in so far with Robert). You can tell by openening KeyCaps and selecting Maestro (which uses most ASCII characters available, as far as I understand). If you press control you'll notice that the main keyboard, with the exception of the top row (which shows the normal layout without modifiers), shows _no_ characters. For special characters the option key is used. For keyboard commands the Command key is normally used. The control key is used for special commands, or. At least this is how I understand it.
