- Nope; it's "DEL" and "H". Left arrows aren't trustworthy :-). Of
- course, labels don't mean a thing for people who touch-type; it's
- where the keys are.

- So you get things like my Sun "Unix Locale" type 5 keyboard, where the
- unlabelled keycap sends escape, the "ESC" key sends "~" or "`", the
- "~"/"`" key sends C-H, and the "Backspace" and "Delete" keys send
- "DEL".
