The most useful key idea:

Having an undo in an easy-to-reach key would be great.

No, I like it as ctrl-z. I already know it and it's harder to hit by accident.

On a side note, does somebody know what the sign ¤ is used for?

[Kuciwalker]

Never seen it before.

The context menu key is the weird one between the spacebar and the right windows key. It doesn't have a text label.

I vote scroll-lock. Insert alone is useless, but it forms (with shift) the old-school DOS way of pasting.

I learned
Ctrl-C: copy
Shift-Del: cut
Shift-Ins: paste

And they still work!

Oh, the button with the cursor and the dropdown list? On mine that's between the right windows key and ctrl.

Scroll Lock is useless - I don't even know what it could be used for.
Pause/Break used to have a use in good old DOS days, but games have their own pause buttons now
Insert I find useful when typing sometimes.
I only press the right windows key and the context menu key by accident - I haven't actually used them in a productive manner ever.

All the other keys are useful.
Althought the F~ series of keys don't get much to do.

Scroll Lock is actually useful on BSD UNIX machines.

If you are on the terminal, you can use scroll lock to go up and see all the stuff that disappears off of the monitor.

"|" is the pipe, very useful if you are a *nixer

I use alt all the time... because it's a totally different button! Your keyboard might not have the context menu key. On mine it's in between the right windows button and the right Ctrl button. So no... I don't mean alt
