Hi there!

Please fix this issue of erasure when ctrl+A is accidentally touched.   

How are you?  I hope that all's well and that you're not too busy.  I really 
love using your keyboard.  But this Ctrl-A is a problem. Would you please fix 
it?  

The placement of Ctrl key next to A is an unnecessary bug, deters from 
productivity, and --unfortunately -- frustrates me ...  I've shouted out 
"doh!!!", "sugar!!!", "candy!!!" and other ear-friendly exasperations in 
seminars that I attend. (And, that's not good around diplomats and military 
people!!!)  This placement problem is easily solvable.  Most of all, . I see 
that it's "caps lock" button next to "a" on my laptop.  And, the "ctrl" key is 
in the bottom left corner. (Is your laptop layout different?) 

Well, I hope that you soon can find a solution like the one that's suggested in 
this issue #.  If you need other/suggestions, then let me know.  As before, I 
look forward to working with you.   I'd be happy to test out your modified 
keyboard that doesn't produce accidental erasures :) 

-- Thanks, Cynthia

Hi there!  ... any progress on making this Ctrl-A problem disappear ?!? ... 
Deleting whole emails and documents is not cool!  I hope that there's hope for 
others and me.  So, please make this slight tweak ASA
