I think a page on mnemonics is a must-have for the APL Wiki, but IMO the keyboard image with the mnemonics is a bit confusing and overwhelming.

Problem is that a table is not the best fit to memorise the spatial correspondences. E.g. ∨ is next to ∧ which is next to × which is next to ÷ and ! (×/⍳) and ⌹ (÷ for mats) are above their respective base symbols × and ÷ etc. Adám Brudzewsky (talk) 07:28, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
