There are still people selling converged keyboards.

Yeah, I don't like the pop-up function keys either.

This is one reason I cling to my X3270 key mapping file.
I really need PF keys to match F keys on the keyboard. (All contemporary
keyboards have twelve of them.)
I also map Alt-1 to PA1 and Alt-2 to PA2. On VM, I need both of those.

Historically (from the ASCII world) Ctrl-L is clear screen. For ASCII
printing devices, it literally means "form feed" or "page eject". So I
map Ctrl-L to 3270 Clear.

CAN'T STAND that separate window!
