Actually, what computer architecture would the Cybermen even have? I like to imagine that the parallel-Earth Cybermen just have a regular-ass PC motherboard somewhere inside them (they were manufactured on present-day Earth, after all), and they've simply never bothered to change that part of their design because too much of their codebase relies on quirks of the x86 processor and the IBM PC architecture. Maybe they're still trying to track down and upgrade the One Guy™ who wrote all the crazy ASM hacks for Cybus, then fucked off to Argentina to become a farmer.
By contrast, given the "bodged-together" nature of the Mondasian Cybermen (they were created on a colony ship experiencing time dilation as a frantic attempt to prolong the crew's lives), they likely started off with all sorts of varying CPU architectures - simply whatever components they had access to. Maybe they run some sort of Mondasian Java... now there's a horrifying thought for you!

It shouldn't be too hard to check the writing direction of the text underneath point and reverse the arrow key mapping accordingly, but I'm not sure how you'd handle the boundaries between different writing directions.

@:konsti: sony teenyDog LLC Yeah, I guess it's not that bad, but it's certainly less comfortable for me than shift+arrows.
Anyways, here's the current layout for the custom keyboard I want to make eventually:
I tried to optimize the symbol placement for writing Lisp code, while sticking to QWERTY since it's too deeply entrenched into my brain. ...And then I decided to do the cursed thing with the arrow keys and essentially turn it into a split keyboard minus the benefits of a split keyboard. I don't remember what inspired that, but as horrible as it looks, I feel like it might actually work.
