i wonder how many of the 4! possible arrangements of a horizontal row of arrow keys are represented in actual old keyboards

or maybe 12 (4! / 2) if we assume that people put the left arrow to the left of the right arrow

there's a whole other universe of possibilities if you consider making some arrows modifier key combos of the others

My fellow researchers in keyboard technology. I propose a new avenue in exploration. A ways to discover new, innovative ways to combine arrows. Witness a new dawn of combinatorics.
