keyboard with LCD template

Have you ever seen a keyboard with a laminated piece of paper cut out like a long rectangular template to fit around the function keys? They do it here for Banner to help end users know what function keys perform what actions (like copy, paste, delete, help etc,…) Wouldn’t it be cool if you could have an external keyboard that had a small LCD panel underneath the function keys that changed the information according to what application was at the forefront? I know programmatically that a Windows machine knows what application has the window in the forefront, it would just be a matter of having a file it reads that maps the keys and have it print the information in the LCD.
