You need to steal their purse/wallet as well.

I don't think I've pressed Insert on any computer keyboard for over 15 years now. What does it do?

Well, you can enter insert mode in vim with it :B

Or ignore mode in vimperator!

Ignore mode? I haven't used vimperator since the Pentadactyl split. What does ignore mode do?

Offtopic:

Not really to place for this , but it ignores all vimperator keybindings except insert until insert is pressed again. In other words, makes a vimperator-enabled firefox work like regular firefox.

Also Offtopic: Ah, Pentadactyl does that with Ctrl-Z and calls it Passthrough mode. You can also enable it for one character press with Ctrl-V.

But the same problem you would have with letters, too. With the difference, that "a" (WASD) or "x" and "y" are really used sometimes, but I never heard of a PC game (and most of the time PC game ports have this issue), where you with with 1 or jump with 2...

Yes, you would have the same issue with letters. That's why I believe we need to label the buttons with something other than a Latin letter or a number.   Incidentally, I have played games which use number keys. We even have one in the repo that comes readily to mind, it's called Galactic Artifact.

Microbes and NanoLemmings also use the number keys as game shortcuts. And I guess lots of ports of PC games like Doom/Quake etc.
