- You should have mentioned that this is the international version of
- the PowerBook keyboard. The international version has one key more
- than the US version and the key layout is significantly different.
-
- On the US keyboard, the cursor keys are all on the bottom row and
- the shift keys are full size. There's no extra key between the Z
- and shift. The return key is horizontal on the US version.
-
- Also, it's quite possible to change the keyboard layout to almost
- whatever you could want. I doubt that anyone has a keyboard like
- mine, since it's built from parts of an international PB160 keyboard
- and a US PB140 keyboard...
-
- I moved the escape key to where it belongs (above the tab key) and
- the enter key is now between return and delete. I now have mostly
- Finnish key caps on the otherwise US keyboard.
-
- The only thing you can't change is that the CAPS lock key will lock
- when pressed. You can change it to anything else, but even if you
- make it a letter like 'A', it will still lock (and the key will
- repeat automatically)...
