Amen. I guess French people now grin, reading this thread... "A"next to Control? There is no "A" next to Control" :)) U can't generalize and say Control on Atari keyboard is badly placed.. It's bad for one layout and not so bad for other.. On PC there are " Z X C" near Alt key, and Caps near Shift etc.. I'm sure there are people in the world to hate that in certain applications. So only sane solution from ergonomic point of view is to move those keys 10 cm away... Which then is not ergonomic again, since u need top move hand... Janez
