US Keyboard JPG attached

[Mary Bernard <Mary_Bernard>]

I attach a JPG diagram of the US keyboard. Rick's diagram, on his website, 
is visually more elegant, but you can't edit it, whereas you can edit this 
in MSPAINT (and elsewhere, if you've got other graphics programs).

I would suggest making 1 copy for each keyboard state - Unshifted, Shift, 
Ctrl, Alt, Alt+Shift, Ctrl+Alt, Ctrl+Alt+Shift. (I don't bother with caps 
and caps+shift.) Then you can use a fine pen to write your customizations 
(not the keydef, but a brief description, like 'sa to A/C' 'line of dashes' 
'define whole file') on the keys.

If you do this, you might want to use the erasor in Paint to get rid of 
things like the direction arrows, in states other than Unshifted, to get 
more room for writing definitions.

You can print the JPG (or JPGs) out. In MSPAINT, it will only print on 2 
landscape pages, at least with my printer (don't know if the limitation is 
in MSPaint or the printer). In a more sophisticated program you could 
probably shrink it onto 1 landscape page, but there would be less room on 
the keys for writing key descriptions.

I print them on 2 pp, cut 1 with a guillotine and paste them together.

There seems to be some variation in where key 43, the backslash key, is 
placed on US keyboards. Ken Salzberg knows of keyboard with 3 different 
placements for this key. But wherever the backslash key is, it's keycode 43 
in the NB US keyboard table/s.
