The question came to mind; "What sort of application would be so crude
that you would have to prevent the user from depressing certain keys?"
In the late 1980's I recall being on a trading floor in Tokyo and seeing
a keyboard with a metal shield that covered all but two or three keys.
In this case it wasn't the application, it was a desire by the company
in question to restrict their traders from using other than very
specific functionality associated with the application.
