I have used a few extra keys on the PC Keyboard - some examples for you: NumLock triggers SHIFT-EDIT on the Sam, which toggles the function keys to numbers and vice versa. DELETE does SHIFT-DELETE to delete forwards, HOME and END act as Inverse On and Inverse Off. A few other keys are used as well, which takes care of your next comment covers.... > If keys are used for musical notes, and Shift is used to shift to a > higher octave, then Shift-2 would really mean Shift-2 rather than > double-quotes. I don't mean to be pedantic, but it can't be seamless. Ah but it is seamless, as I have that base covered too... I did try to think of most scenarios when designing the PC Keyboard Interface! If you need to press SHIFT and a key, such as for the purpose above, the WINDOWS KEY (START) acts as a "pure shift". So in your example if you need to press SHIFT-2 on the Sam to get a note in a higher octave, you press WINDOWS KEY - 2 on the PC Keyboard.
