Because I type in Dvorak and the layout was not designed for my keymap.
I hate laptop keyboards so I try to plug in an external one when i
can. I also like the way that my laptop does numpad emulation when I
use its keyboard  anyway. I'd also like to not have to press shift with
the capslock key to get it to activate because that is not standard PC
keyboard behaviour. I don't use that key hardly at all but when I do
I'd like it to work properly.
