> Those are the keys on the right side of the home row.

Why would you want that alongside numbers which are either two rows up or to the side?

Unless the keyboard was something like USPS’s which has numbers as an alternate mode on the home row, and thus made this layout sensible? But that would still make it a quirk of the system.

Edit: yeah it was absolutely a quirk of the LPG-30, per a sibling comment: http://laboratorium.net/archive/2008/04/28/a_few_facts_about...
