Quick keyboard question - this'll only take about 5 seconds :)

I'm working on a new 3D modeler called "Finesse 2.0", the sequel to my last attempt at such a project which was called "Finesse 3D". If anyone really wants to download the first one just for kicks, you can get it from this page which is extrememly old and is missing most of the images :lol:

Anyway this poll is just so I can figure out how many users' keyboards do or do not have the "home" and "end" keys directly above the arrow keys on their keyboard. I plan on treating those two keys as additional arrow keys to deal with movement in the 3rd dimension in this program (try running the old one to see what I mean) but if I'm going to distribute it on the internet I want most people to be able to use it as conveniently as I can! Therefore, if a lot of people seem to have a different keyboard setup I might put some other options for keyboard setup on there.

Thanks!

I'm sure there won't be a Mac version (ahem), but on current Mac USB keyboards, HOME and END are in line. Now you know.

My laptops keyboard has the home and enter keys a row to the right of the arrows. The page up and page down keys are between them. However, the keyboard I am using now (cause my laptop one is broke) has them in line with the arrow keys.

er, no there won't be a Mac version, sorry :sweat:

I have a mac friend who always gets mad at my programs for being windows-based but I dont own a mac and dont know how to program for one.

I guess that's what Virtual PC is for ;)

Both of my computer keyboards, laptop and desktop, are both aligned.
