I think it looks great.  The dyesub isn't perfect, but it looks very retro. Thoughts?

2-2-2-3-4-3? Interesting.

I like the two main colors, and I even like the sub-legends on the alphas.

But I'm not a huge fan of orange in general, and would have preferred red instead. I also would have preferred a 1-1-2-3-4-3 profile.

Are the sublegends based on something specific?

I don’t mind the row 2 on the top but yeah, something other than orange would have been nice.

Like the name of the set, these are control codes. Back in the old days you'd press CTRL-S to pause output in a terminal and CTRL-Q to start, CTRL-C to stop a process, etc.

The legends are the official names of the codes sent if you hold CTRL and press one of these other keys. Kinda retro 'cause it wasn't unusual to have these sub-legends on the keys of many computer terminals.

They just don't seem very thick.
