Why, I think this is great for getting used to the keyboard-layout, 
especially if it's possible to store different reactions for different 
applications. Even several people could use one keyboard when each one 
configures it for himself.  On login, the keyboardTable can then be loaded. 
Once youre used to the keyboard, nobody forces to look, you can type blindly.
But it helps those not so familiar with it. Why deny other people the help 
oneself doesn't need ? ;-)
