I mean: in a real beeb keyboard you just press the key for underscore and
shift-it for the pound sign while in the schematic seems the opposite.

I think this is a difference between prototype Beeb and the release
machines;  my 'Assembly Language programming for the BBC Microcomputer'
book by Ian Birnbaum has the _ on the top;  there are some other
minor quirks like no labelling on the f keys, and Break being marked
Reset.

(Hell, why did I remember that?  Last time I noticed that must have
been 20-30 years ago....)
