The easiest way would be to have a lot of "function" keys to bind them to usual commands. On a normal keyboard there's usually a total of: 12 normal function keys, + 3 SysRq, Scroll Lock, Break + 16 keypad keys. ---- 31 unused keys. Slighly more function keys would be able on a Sun keyboard. There are special keyboard for POS with 225 keys, that would be perfect to bind usual emacs commands. http://www.electronickeyboards.com/POS-retail-keyboards.html Otherwise, the cheapest solution could be to add a second keyboard, but I don't know if X allows emacs to distinguish keys of one keyboard from the other easily. -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ This is a signature virus.
