QWERTY Configuration
The QWERTY keypad uses an alphanumeric keypad that produces the 26-character alphabet (A-Z, both lowercase and uppercase),
numbers (0-9), and assorted characters. The keypad is color-coded to indicate which modifier key to press to produce a particular
character or action. The keypad default is alphabetic, producing lowercase letters.
