Exactly - code to accomodate any PS/2 keyboard that doesn't do untranslated set 3 is a workaround, in my opinion. People with perfect keyboards should be able to benefit from the simplicity they allow. Obviously 'set 2 + workarounds' needs to be the default, because of the hardware in existance, but there is still an advantage to using set 3 where possible. John.
