[Rwp] some thoughts for the keymap development and things and stuff

[Chris Belle]

Ah, I'm the neanderthal here, I just insist on an old style keyboard,
even when using a laptop, I found out long time ago it was just too much 
of a pain to deal with the limitations of not having those extra keys,
and I have a couple of USB numeric key pad thingies
which are a good compromise when I just can't haul around a keyboard.
