I'm guessing you didn't read the document I pointed you guys at:

     http://www.sjbaker.org/steve/omniv/keyboards_are_evil.html

If you let the players configure their own keys - then Very Bad
Things Will Happen for two or more players...but you'll have to
read the document to understand why.

It's possible to very carefully choose sets of characters for
two people to play with - but they tend not to be very ergonomic
or memorable...for three or four players, it's almost impossible
to find enough usable sets to avoid the problem.
