Idea: having physical "Old-school / Windows" switch

[sskras]

In general, I think it would help the UX to have a switch labeled "Old-school / Windows" which would help taking two different paths:

• the Old-school for generating the classic key sequence.
• the Windows for using Alt-key escapes.

Exotic systems probably won't support for Alt-Keys (it's a Windows thing, right?) or tend to use non-English keyboard layouts less frequently.

So users of both typical and exotic systems might benefit from it.

Then the Mac+Linux desktops having non-English layouts activated would probably be hardest to work around.

10+ digital inputs on board (all of those can be used as physical ON/OFF switches) + possibility to enter them into key matrix, so 100+ buttons for sure.
Making exotic keyboard type? :D
