crossed fingers

there appears to be no way to ensure a consistent spaces & exposé experience across a macbook and an external mac keyboard, because they are hardwired to have different shortcuts. of course, the control panel doesn't allow additional shortcuts to be defined for the spaces/exposé actions, with the end result that i'm forced to rewire my fingers, to use a keyboard that has more keys than i need - just not the right ones.

meh, apple.
