my old THE key mapping

This is my old map on Alpha with a LK keyboard. The current map is elsewhere.

Legenda

For each key there is a cell with three lines :

the top lines on default background shows the key label on my LK keyboard
the second line is the Xcurses THE assignment, with the key name as given by SHOWKEY and the function assigned to it. This appears in red on yellow.
the third line is the curses THE assignment (in black on cyan).
if the key is dead it appears with black background.
if the key is not assigned it appears with gray bacgkround.

In addition arrow keys are defined as follows (modifiers work only in X11) :

Arrow normal shifted control alt

Right Screen RIGHT RIGHT HALF macro rarrow Escreen RIGHT

Arrow	normal	shifted	control	alt

Down	Escreen DOWN
Left	Screen LEFT	LEFT HALF	macro larrow	Escreen LEFT
Right	Screen RIGHT	RIGHT HALF	macro rarrow	Escreen RIGHT

Normal keypad

Only two non-alphanumeric keys are normally in use. The other prefix keys can in principle be assigned to individual functions, but it makes no much sense.
