I don't know for sure, but it sounds pretty damned close to the keyboard
I'm currently typing on -- a venerable ORIGINAL mac keyboard.  The tiny
one used on from 128 --> 512Ke.  This is closer to "standard" terminal
keyboard layouts than any of the other Apple keyboards, save the ADB
Extended, which bears very close semblance to both the AT and the VT-220
keyboards.

Just my $.02...

Hit 'n' or '^N' right now -- the rest is 'inews' fodder.
