Only on computer terminals which are used for editing. I hope to eventully narrow it down to the '0' and '1' keys being the only ones that generate unique keycodes, but I sill have yet to see a clear proposal from anyone regarding bit-stuffing the input stream so we can find character boundries and/or determine end of line. The thing I don't like is that the characters still come out lower case when I turn off caps lock. Making all characters come out the same case regardless of modifier keys is the next logical step in reducing the set of keycodes a newbie must memorize.
