The deal is that when the first VT2xx models were designed, DEC opted to follow some European "ergonomic keyboard standard". As a result, the VT220 keyboard is without doubt one of the worst I have ever encountered. The VT100 was one of the best. By the way, DEC seems to have established over a half dozen "DEC keyboard standards" during the days when I was still paying any attention to what DEC was doing.
