Talk:Space-cadet keyboard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is based in part on the Jargon File, which is in the public domain.

Wow! I remember fondly my C64 and it's special "front" graphic characters. While the space-cadet is certainly over-the-top I think we could still use some of it's influence again. I am very dissapointed that the Alt key, for instance, has been co-opted for more "control" functions, while the function keys have faded in use.

[edit] What do some of these keys do?

There are a lot of extra keys that aren't mentioned in this article:

  • I, II, III, IV keys
  • Rub Out (I think it's the equivalent of the modern Backspace)
  • The hand keys
  • Over Strike
  • Line

There's a few more that could be expanded upon. —Scott5114↗ [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 05:27, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
