I like the idea of double tapping toggles the mode you choose. Example in standard os x mode a double tap of option would turn off the special keys and pass the meta key, and vice versa
thus allowing the special chars and passing the meta with out having to click the checkbox. quicksilver allows a double tap of command to toggle its entry window, so the double tap could cause the toggle.
