Reminds me of the Caps Lock Function key on the Acorn Electron computers. Most keywords in the version of BASIC that came with the computer had a corresponding key, so if you were writing a program, you'd simply hit CapsLckFn-P for PRINT or CapsLckFn-E for ELSE etc.
It worked surprisingly well for coding.
If you look carefully, you can see the keywords printed on the front of the keys.
