Using both the CTRL and META keys. "The command to burn allLEDs is double bucky F."This term originated on the Stanford extended-ASCII keyboard,and was later taken up by users of the space-cadet keyboardat MIT. A typical MIT comment was that the Stanford buckybits (control and meta shifting keys) were nice, but thereweren't enough of them; you could type only 512 differentcharacters on a Stanford keyboard. An obvious way to addressthis was simply to add more shifting keys, and this waseventually done; but a keyboard with that many shifting keysis hard on touch-typists, who don't like to move their handsaway from the home position on the keyboard. It washalf-seriously suggested that the extra shifting keys beimplemented as pedals; typing on such a keyboard would be verymuch like playing a full pipe organ. This idea is mentionedin a parody of a very fine song by Jeffrey Moss called "RubberDuckie", which was published in "The Sesame Street Songbook" (Simon and Schuster 1971, ISBN 0-671-21036-X). These lyricswere written on May 27, 1978, in celebration of the Stanfordkeyboard: Double Bucky Double bucky, you're the one! You make my keyboard lots of fun. Double bucky, an additional bit or two: (Vo-vo-de-o!) Control and meta, side by side, Augmented ASCII, nine bits wide! Double bucky! Half a thousand glyphs, plus a few! Oh, I sure wish that I Had a couple of Bits more! Perhaps a Set of pedals to Make the number of Bits four: Double double bucky! Double bucky, left and right OR'd together, outta sight! Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of Double bucky, I'm happy I heard of Double bucky, I'd like a whole word of you! - The Great Quux(With apologies to Jeffrey Moss. This, by the way, is anexcellent example of computer filk --- ESR).See also meta bit, cokebottle, and quadruple bucky.
