States, (or provinces) become Keys.

Take a country and turn states or provinces into keys. If more keys are required, use more countries.

I'm guessing that Oregon, the Beaver State, is not going to enjoy being identified as [ " ], after giving up the highly coveted [O]-key to Oklahoma, of course. Ohio would have to settle for [ 0 ](zero) since it is the 'high-O' on the keyboard.

If no state keys are required, don't do this at all.

Are you already using a keyboard like this? You seem to have difficulty typing enough words to make this idea clear. "Take a country"?!!? Hitler got in trouble for trying that.

Imagine a "nations of europe" keyboard... Who has slender enough fingers to press Luxemborg and the Vatican City?!
