Pinebook Pro ANSI keyboard - feedback please!

(07-12-2019, 06:36 PM)chithanh Wrote: It would be good if the keyboard bezel can accommodate either ISO or ANSI layout. So you can buy the other type and install it without having to replace the whole topcase.

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.
