Thanks for your reply! Unfortunately, this only generates the “£” sign.  
Without SHIFT, unfortunately only SPACE.

You can try this out online very nicely with https://www.zx81stuff.org.uk/zx81/jtyone.html.

  Grogster said  One thing I DID really like about the ZX81, was the whole keyword idea, where you could just press one "Key" on the membrane keyboard, and it would insert the entire BASIC command with the touch of just one key.  That was a nice idea, and did make experimenting with the base 1K model, easy.  Programs could be written quite quickly using that idea.

Yes, but I often have to search for several minutes for the right button...  

@Grogster:

You are an admin - can you perhaps draw Exile's attention to this thread with an e-mail?
I have sent him a PM - so far he has not responded. I would like to provide him with the Gerber files for the keyboard...

THANK YOU!!!
