Issues we had

  • The most difficult part of determining the layout is how to deal with the absence of the standard insert/delete/home/end/pgup/pgdwn cluster. We ended up sacrificing pause, scroll lock, insert, rt ctrl, rt gui/menu.
  • In our layout print screen, and delete keys were important
  • For a more advanced layout, switching the "" and "backspace" keys, going with a 1 unit "" would allow the addition of the delete key above backspace.
