I Hate This Key Deluxe Edition

Version
5.0
One day I came into our office and found that a
keyboard on the table of one of our leading developers
was broken. Several buttons were missing. Horrible
black gaps where keys used to be. We all were
astonished. Who would commit this foolish crime? Soon,
Mike, the keyboard owner, appeared and explained that
he had broken the keyboard himself. The previous
evening, he had lost a significant portion of his code
by pressing one of the extended keys accidentally.
After that, he got a screwdriver and picked out all
the extended keys!
Thrilled with Mike's case, we decided to study less
radical opportunities to solve this problem. Virtually
all modern keyboards come with a set of extended keys:
a pair of Windows Logo Keys and power control keys.
Multimedia keys are normally hard to be pressed
accidentally. They are small and located relatively
far from the standard keys. The most dangerous
extended keys are located within the standard key
areas. These are Windows Logo keys, Caps and Num
