Proposal 0001
Modernizing the Standard PC Keyboard Utility Cluster
Repurposes two keys almost nobody uses — Scroll Lock and Pause/Break — as dedicated microphone-mute and media play/pause controls. No keys are added or removed, and the physical layout is unchanged; the proposal specifies conformance requirements so the behaviour is identical across vendors.
