> I think functions keys and arrows are used way too frequently to spend your time using shortcuts 65% keyboards tend to put those shortcuts where you have to use a pinky finger to access those keys. Whereas, keyboards much smaller than ~60% tend to use thumbs instead to access those keys, and put a big emphasis on reducing movement from home row & bringing the full functionality of the keyboard to within reach of the hands there. The keyboards which make more use of layers put the layer keys in a nicer spot than those 60% keyboards.
