 |  Keyboard layout
Does somebody has a layout of the plus4 keyboard?
I need the external keys, not the electronic keyboard matrix.
If yes pls send it to me at svs.fire( at )gmail.com
Thank you!

I think SVS is looking for an illustration of what key combinations result in what character codes.
Chart A: Unshifted keys result in what's shown on the key (or lower position for numeric and punctuation).
Chart B: Shifted keys (upper position for numeric and punctuation, otherwise keyboard graphics).
Chart C: C= plus the keys
Chart D: Control plus the keys

Thank you all for your replies.
What I'm searching for is a layout of the external view of Plus4 keyboard.
Of course if not existing I'll take a photo, but a drawing should be better.
If you use the "CBM prg Studio" you will know the F4 feature that shows a keyboard where, with the mouse, one can hit the special characters. Fact is that there are only the C64' ones...
Then I kindly asked Arthur (the author) for implementing the Plus4 many special characters, right? He replied me to send some documentation. Ultimate-map has all the codes and matrix, but has not the design.

@SVS: I think that if you link him to gerliczer's photo earlier, and mention the following, the author can figure it out.
1. No separate back-arrow <- key. This is replaced by ESC like on the C128.
2. Note the 3 keys between 0 and Clear/Home on top row -- different than C64/C128.
3. Note the 3 keys between P and Control (not Restore) on second row -- different than C64/C128.
4. Control on right = Control on left. Just like Shift, there is no difference between left and right.
5. Note "Blink On" and "Blink Off" on comma and period [dot or full stop] keys. (SVS, insert the CHR$ codes for these when you forward)
6. Separate arrow keys = 128 mode arrows on C128.
7. HELP = F8 and unshifted. F7 is shifted. Inverted key values from C64/C128.

Thanks everyone for the information on this, I've got enough to get started. It will be a while yet though as I'm fixing the VIC 20's screen designer multicolour mode!
