//I like the HHKB, except that it doesn't have a
//builtin ``view'' key...

not to be contrary, but i'm using one right now,
and yes it does. it may depend on that sliding
switch on the back - mine's all the way to the
left, when viewed from a normal typing position.
the two "diamond" keys are View and Un-View (uh,
what's that called again?). the one on the right
of the keyboard even reverses function with the
shift key, in case you have the left one mapped
to Fn or control or something.

it required a few lines in the kbtab* tables in
kbd.c. those three lines represent my first
contribution to the Plan 9 kernel, just after we
got our HHKBs.
