But modifying resources files is a lot more complex than
just not loading the module in the first place.

It is annoying enough to have to edit the Resources file
date format options after each upgrade. Commenting out the
UKey loading instruction is far simpler.

As I said, I was simply curious about the Shift-Ctrl
options. They (and most keyboard shortcuts) are not
something that I actually use.

But having the numeric keypad keys do something other than
what they say on the key would be a major annoyance.
