Yep! For the record, when I was a student, I once had fun remapping another person's keyboard so that pressing the digit "0" (zero) would instead send letter "O". That person was typing JTAG sequences with hundreds of 1/0 bits in strings and never understood why there were these strange errors (due to the tool in place having very cryptic messages).
