Now there's a good thought. If each program could interface automatically with the keyboard, loading a profile at application install, there are some real possibilities. Install and launch a game, and voila you've got the shortcuts right there, the very first use. Even if you're good at retaining them in the long run, that would surely speed the learning curve. Or, launch any MS Office application, hit "ctrl", and icons for all the keyboard shortcuts appear. Again, the key to that being useful would be the ability for the application installer to create and activate the varying layouts automatically, rather than the user tediously having to hunt down icons and assign them manually for each application they want to use.
