 I agree that arrow keys (at least left and right) are pretty important.
 I'm not so sure about the other special keys, though. Tablet-optimized 
 apps really
 should not use those keys, so they should only be needed very rarely. 
 Therefore
 I'd suggest to put them somewhere they don't waste space needed for the 
 keys
 one uses much more often.

 I'd like to try it out, but since from a technical point of view I'm 
 "just a user",
 I don't know how to import the layout. What do I have to do?
