Now we need to finish the UI framework ASAP and write lots of menus, because we only 9 keys on K4 ;P

If you count the buttons on the right and left edges, we have 13 keys. And my testing shows that you can see ALL combinations of keys as well, so you can use multiple shift keys. In fact, I designed and tested (but not completed) a chording keyboard that uses thumbs sideways across the button pairs on each side of the 5-way, and the side buttons to select row or column in an on-screen character matrix. You "roll" your thumbs to press one or more of the two buttons under them (for row or column 0-15), then press a "row" or "column" select key on the sides before releasing the thumbs. It works well with practice, but I have a lot of work to do on it when I resume that project...
The (unfinished) onscreen keyboard I am doing for the touch is also being designed for the K4, with "up/down/left/right" links between the keys. I have WAY too many unfinished projects that I bounce between (this is a hobby, so I do whatever seems most interesting at the time)...
Anyway, the point of this post was "13 keys" (plus any combination of them).
