Could you elaborate?
Not much to it: I could never really appreciate the 20B (or 30B) casing. In the emulator it looks even worse, cause the shiny black part really can be seen as a hollow recess
or as a bombed form protruding from an otherwise rather flat design (believe me, for those who first saw the emulator, before holding a 20B in their hands, this can be rather vexing...).
I just wanted to suggest that you might choose a 41 or 42 skin. They are much more forgiving to two-dimensional representation...

what is your alternative suggestion?
Well, obviously anything where
Y is actually followed by
Z.
I do see that
P.FCN right where it aught to be.
So the only obvious solution would be to split
TESTS from
?.
? might go with
FLAGS as well, but it goes without saying that
, is already reserved for that key, right where it must be.
Without very much contemplation I could imagine moving
TESTS to the
STO key and putting ASSIGN under the
+. Then the ALPHA - assignments in the bottom row could run "
Y Z , ?".
I don't say this is mandatory, but the association of the question mark to the TESTS menu is not equally binding and self-enforcing as the order of letters in the alphabet, don't you agree? The first is a question of design ideas, the second is a cultural convention far above the members of this forum.
BTW: I love the keyboard to screen ratio in the 43S! Feels, ah, handy...
Thank you for sharing,
