For me, having PF1 to PF4 on F1 to F4 is an absolute no-no. I use the EDT
keypad layout heavily every single day and I can't have my fingers flying
across the keyboard every time I need to press one of those keys.

For me, they need to be on the top of the keypad and I do remember that
being a problem in the early days of using xterm. I don't know if things
are better now.

BTW, the only missing key for me on a PC keypad is delete word, which is
something I never used anyway.
