@pgcd @WillA763 Obviously the #VIC20 did predate modern keyboard layout conventions that the #ModelM (Actually #ModelF, but noone but the followers of #chyrosran22 will know!) implemented and that got copied since then...
#Commodore did OFC design the entire #Ecosystem and aside from #Software didn rule over it with iron fist, so at that time noone "knew" better...
