That would be too simple. See my example in the previous email.
You would need to match the keys for EACH keyboard model, regardless of
Locale.

This is particularly true for laptops (at least in Portugal...). All
laptops sold in Portugal have a Portuguese layout but the Special keys
(like Ctrl, Alt, Insert) have the English text. Obviously manufacturers do
this to save on producing specific keys. So Locale doesn't solve the
problem.
