Hi All,


There is no question here.


I just want to whine about the fact that most non-full-sized keyboards 
for Windows leave out the right ctrl key. I use this key a lot. I use it 
to close the current window; to cut, copy, and paste; to save; and to 
enjoy random text editing tricks like centering a line of text and 
applying hanging indents to paragraphs. When I don't have this key, I 
find myself doing lots of clumsy fumbling for these commands.


I just finished setting up my new Surface Pro 7, a replacement for last 
month's, which kept speaking random French to me, and I'm in a sulk 
because, even its type cover keyboard, which is fairly big and roomy, 
includes the application key rather than the right ctrl key. I don't 
mind giving up the


application key because shift+f10 gets me there and because I already 
know I need to take my hands off the typing area to select an option.


Every other Bluetooth keyboard I have is also missing the right ctrl 
key. I have a vague memory of having had this key in the past, but I 
can't swear on a stack of bibles. I've checked into remapping, but my 
understanding is that the right and left Windows keys can't be remapped, 
and this is usually what's in the place of the trusty right ctrl key.


If anyone knows of a comfortable Bluetooth keyboard for Windows with a 
right ctrl key, please post. Right now, I just take a big USB keyboard 
if I know I'm going to be using this key a lot.


Ciao
