Nice find! (A shame again here that the text has been reset instead of preserving the exact original, though.) Interesting that CODE (later Option) got the top-left spot, not a place you would normally find a modifier key. Very weird to see ZXCU for Cut Paste Copy Undo

I probably have the original PDF somewhere, if you want me to grab it – at the time, it felt better to do it this way.

Oh I didn't even realize that was your own site! But yes I'd be interested to see the scan if you find it

A small precedent for top-left modifier keys: IBM 5291 and its Command.pic.twitter.com/7DTaKqzDTb

And – I just noticed – arrow keys on the left.

One more: CODE in the upper left corner. This is the CPT 8100 word processor.pic.twitter.com/TNTg1k0Kjs

I agree it’s kind of weird, but e.g. if companies were following IBM still (not sure), IBM earlier on had CODE vaguely “on the left side,” so not a far stretch to move it a bit up?pic.twitter.com/RAYT7hP4vM

OK, way more precedent for that than I would have guessed! Now also remembering Sun's L1-A key combo for soft reboot, chording the L1 function key at the top left
