Decmate keyboards are like that. The keyboards are Wordprocessing oriented -
and the "gold" key was very important ;-)
They work the same as standard DEC LKxxx keyboards.

I have a DEC VT102 terminal that I got some time ago

the right of the keyboard where the numeric keypad is, the keys don't match
the color of the other keys on the keyboard. The upper left key in the
keypad is gold, and the other keys on the keypad are different colors -
red, blue, white - and have editing words on them, I think words like
"left, copy, print", something like that.
My question is - is it likely that someone scavenged keys from another
non-vt100 keyboard to replace missing keys, or was this some option used
with some word processing software? If the later, I'm happy I have
something unusual. If the former, I am going to yank those keycaps off and
scavenge the "correct" keys from one of the other VT100's I'm going to
junk.
Anyone know the answer?
Thanks!
