What about hardware buttons that would change behavior based on context/app and provide the same? Nice arcade style yes/no. I remote in often or work from different desks so this wouldn't be for me...

I never used wine too much but lately have been utilising it with the playonlinux configuration front-end (hint: games for kids) and it's great. I will also test next week one of Minolta's Windows only colorimetric drivers. Right
