Is there anything that could be described as clear and consise 
documentation of how keyboards should be configured in 2024?

I bring this up again because this problem with arrow keys caused me 
several weeks of pain, grief, headache, toil, and misery...

I solved the problem completely and, ahem, permanently by re-installing 
a legacy keyboard framework... I am losing sleep over the thought that 
this solution will go back to not working at some arbitrary date in the 
future. This is not fair to me. =|

So is there even any usable documentation about how to "correctly" set 
up the keyboard, ie could be printed on a note-card with normal fonts 
and followed by a third grader?

I'm old enough to remember how to do this in MS dos... You downloaded a 
dvorak.cpl file and loaded it with the mode command... It literally was 
a built-in feature and only took one line to use... And if you didn't 
touch it at all, it would work flawlessly in QWERTY mode...
