Many true PC users that never seen an Atari keyboard use patched keyboard driver that switches the CapsLock and the Control keys - the result is that the 'new' Control key is then at the very same position where Atari put it 20 years ago. Also, they do similar thing with the Esc key and the '`' char (the key below it) so that again they get the Esc key at the Atari position. Petr
