Pinebook Pro ANSI keyboard - feedback please!

About the del key, I prefer to have it separate in the function key row. If the function keys become narrower as a result, I don't mind.

Something like this:

Things I like about the layout in the original news post:
  • FN+ up/down for Page up/down (common to other laptops I regularly use)
  • FN+ left/right for Home/End (common to other laptops I regularly use)
Things I like about the layout in this post:
  • Ctrl between ALT and Left
  • Del above Backspace
Things I don't mind about the layout in this post:
  • The location of Page up and Page down (I prefer the one in the original news post, but this one is also OK)
Things I would change from the layout in this post if I could:
  • Move the power button elsewhere (I think that having the power key so close to keys I use frequently is a hazard)
  • Move the Del key to the place previously occupied by power key (this matches other laptop keyboards I commonly use)
Other than that, I like this layout as-is.
