Keyboard chapter #83

In chapter Keyboard 1) what does the ALT function description do in the 'SHIFT' chapter? There is an ALT chapter, 2) should be moved there..

2) "Holding the ALT down when turning the MEGA65 activates the Utility Menu."

probably this was that the author meant: "Holding the ALT down when turning the MEGA65 on activates the Utility Menu." or "Holding the ALT down when powering the MEGA65 on activates the Utility Menu."

3) CTRL "CTRL is the Control key. Holding down Control and pressing another key allows you to perform Control Functions. For example, holding CTRL and one of the number keys allows you to change text colours."

In this paragraph only the last 'CTRL' is marked with a CTRL key pictogram. I think in this paragraph at least 3 CTRL pictogram should be (I marked them with CTRL), to be in synch with the SHIFT key description (and there was a missing 'down'):

"CTRL is the Control key. Holding down CTRL and pressing another key allows you to perform Control Functions. For example, holding CTRL down and one of the number keys allows you to change text colours."

4) holding down In the SHIFT and in the beginning of the CTRL paragraph pressing down a key and keeping it that way was referred as "holding down". From the middle of the CTRL to the middle of the RUN/STOP this phrase changed to simply "holding". I think, this should be harmonized and keep as one of them.

5) CLR/Home "If holding SHIFT and pressing CLR HOME clears the entire screen and places the cursor into the top left-most position of the screen." instead "Holding SHIFT and pressing CLR HOME clears the entire screen and places the cursor into the top left-most position of the screen."

6) ALT "The ALT held while pressing other keys can be used by software to perform functions. Not available in C64 mode." instead "Holding ALT down while pressing other keys can be used by software to perform functions. Not available in C64 mode."

I think I've responded to them all. If so, close the issue, else drop a comment.

I have checked a freshly generated pdf (c o m m i t 3 d 9 8 7 2 a 2 8 a 3 6 5 3 4 e 3 d b b 2 0 7 c b f 1 e 4 b a 3 6 7 c 8 6 6 1 a D a t e : T u e J u n 16 1 4 : 0 6 : 2 0 2 0 2 0 + 0 9 3 0 - uh..ohh. Why is the commit ID generated into the pdf with so many white spaces?? - stupid pdf)

Most of them are addressed properly (thanks for noticing that I have left out the 'down' from my 6th comment). But the special function of the ALT key when switching Mega65 on, that is described in the SHIFT paragraph, though there is a paragraph for the ALT key. I would move the ALT+power on description to the ALT paragraph.

The power-on ALT info is at right place now. But ... in the ALT chapter there are two paragraphs/sentences..

Thanks. There were actually quite a few inconsistencies with the key appearances that I have fixed.
