I never used ED so I vote for the CV back.
Same here; for my use, that would make much more sense.
I also don't see myself using ED in the future.

Only a single color is available (due to the process used) and we will do our best to cover both sets, if possible without making it too tight and/or difficult to read. The revised location of the toggle key functions makes some ED keys less intuitive, so I hope we can fit them all.

If a choice must be made, we will likely drop the (or maybe some of the) ED key labels, but I hope we can be creative enough to get it all in clearly.

Thanks for feedback. :)

My vote is for ED+ - Why? because this is how the CX was meant to be, and because on the 41X ED+ has been enhanced even further so it's unique to this platform. Besides the ALPHA keyboard is much easier to remember without any cheat sheet.

ED +++

I use it for data base modification, but not enough to memorize the layout and commands as I have on the keyboard after 40 years!

What we really need are overlays.
