I would imagine you'd want to be paying to the raw scan codes (the
positions of the keys being pressed), rather than what purpose someone
wants to give to certain keys (e.g. that it's the letter A).

The other thing that springs to mind, is what about making use of the
function keys?  Many things ignore them, and you've usually got an array
of spare keys about the keyboard you might use directly for cut and
paste.

I'd considered using them for something like typing proper punctuation
(i.e. symbols there weren't already keys for, and/or had horrible key
sequences to type), but only looked briefly at it.
