One of the things missing, of course, are the Fu;nction keys.  What common uses do those have in various apps?  In other words (in part), which do I most need to worry about including substitutions for?

F1 = help (personally, I rarely use this)
F2 = rename (can probably be gotten to by right-clicking)
F5 = run (PowerPoint, some programming environments)
F11 = super-full-screen (Windows Explorer, Internet Explorer, etc.)

Any other important/common ones to consider?

Still some slight problems with the RapidHotkey function, but I think some new bugs are being introduced as old ones are taken out!  So this is probably the best to use, though it's not actually the newest.  Keys:

Ctrl+Esc = simulate holding down Alt+Win for 4 seconds; I can then hit just one alphanumeric key to use one of my app-launching hotkeys in Executor
Alt+Esc = toggles Shift on and off (with a tooltip notification on the top left of the screen)
Ctrl + Backspace - call the AltTabMenu, which can then be navigated using the arrow keys (or touchpad), Enter to accept, Esc to cancel
"Ctrl" 2x (3 times) = Tab
"a" 3x = Ctrl+Alt+A (shortcut key for Keepass' autofill feature)
"e" - 3x = Executor, 4x = Windows' Run dialogue, 5x = My Computer
"q" - 2x = quit focused application (Alt+F4)
Esc - 3x = suspend this AHK script for 3 seconds, 4x = reload this script, 5x = exit this script

I'm pretty convinced by now that the mouse gestures program StrokeIt, or something similar, will be an important part of an iPazzPort solution (TPFC entry linked, not program's homepage).  Attached to this post is the "Actions" folder (zipped) that I'm using with a few additions that I find helpful (up-stroke for PgUp, down for PgDn, down-left for home, down-right for end, up-left to go back a tab in IE, up-right to go forward a tab, S to start a slideshow in PowerPoint, reverse-S to start from current slide, N to make a new folder in Windows Explorer, maybe more to come?)  Just replace the "Actions" folder that comes with the program (not Default\Actions though!)  I haven't asked StrokeIt's developer about redistribution or anything, so that's why I'm attaching only the Actions folder.  Sorry to make the process harder on anyone wanting to test!

As mentioned above, I also use Executor as a portable launcher (it go off either hotkeys or text autocompletion, kinda like in the Vista menu), but I figure that's more personalized, and everyone may need to configure that for their own needs, if they even choose to use it.

Hope this project is helpful to others, and that I'll be able to get some good feedback toward improving this stuff!  Thanks!

Found a small bug in the RapidHotkeys function; new version of my script coming soon...

"perhaps the only way you can improve any of this is to make it easy to remember how to use. or make it very intuitive. not sure...if it's necessary."  It probably is; a person can only conveniently remember so many key combinations!  Simplicity/intuitiveness (perhaps with expanded functionality) is part of what I'm hoping someone else has a brainstorm about!

Well, it's interesting, as is OkayKeybees (linked to from mouser's page).  But
1) TapTap only seems to accept single- or double-tap, not as configurable as HotKeyIt's RapidHotkey function;
2) I think the temporary holding-down of certain hotkeys might be an important part of flexibility in this.  Maybe even some sort of Shift lock/toggle thing, where I click one place in a document, toggle Shift-lock on, click another place to highlight everything in between, toggle Shift-lock off. 

And part of my underlying question is, is this whole approach too complex?  Is there some out-of-the-box thinker who can say "Wait, what about this way that's easier to both implement for the developer and remember for the end-user?"  And I'd say, "Huh, never thought of that!"
