Could you just put UP to the place of ?, put ? to the place of RIGHT,
and put RIGHT to the place of UP?
I am not THAT old to understand what is so cool about that "hjkl vi
arrangement" and I guess no children will either.
I feel that moving just one more key from its 101 key standard position
cannot suck more that the current arrow key arrangement...

I was just looking at the layout again and just noticed the new arrow keys
placement. That is a very awkward placement. Is that definitive or can you
do something like shorten the shift key to accommodate the UP arrow?
I suppose that would be another hard sell for deployments against netbooks
with the regular placement of keys.
Best regads,

We debated this one. A shorter shift key would be difficult to type
on. We opted to emulate the hjkl vi arrangement.

I must ask, what's the default behavior of function keys in the new
layout? Fn changes them to F keys, or are they F keys without Fn pressed?

The following are the keyboard layouts and legends for these
new keyboards. Much thanks to Walter Bender for developing
these given a bad set of constraints.

There may be users who wish to plug in an external keyboard. Such
external keyboards often have function keys grouped in sets of four.
Such grouping places F5 at the beginning of a row of four keys, and
places F6 in the middle of a row of four keys.
Suppose users might be pressing the key for 'frame' more often than the
key for 'search'. Should the 'frame' function be assigned to the F5
key, since on external keyboards the F5 key might be easier to locate ?
