Quotation marks keyboard layouts
I am sorry for my late answer, I do not visit Wikipedia every day.
I haven’t found any information regarding the levels of NEO keyboard. If, in fact, it is possible to access those characters just with the Shift key, please, feel free to correct my mistake.
However, the NEO keyboard was designed for German. Therefore, it should be in the entry “In languages that use the curved „…“ quotation marks”, not in entries like “In languages that use the angular «…» quotation marks”.

I've just taken it "out" of archive.org on a fourteen day loan and can already see that it is a great recommendation, thank you! Apart from the expected technical content, it is pleasingly written.
Master/slave terminology
Hello. I just wanted to say that I do not consider this terminology to be offensive. I know Wikipedia is not intended to be proscriptivist but descriptivist, but the article itself gives numerous reasons and justifications for changing it, and many technological groups are calling out for a discontinuation of the use and have move to other naming conventions.
I didn't think I was proposing new terms, I got the names for the redirects from the article itself since if someone is coming from one platform or other their manuals will contain different terms.
I highly doubt that these words will ever regain their once innocuous and technical meaning as *merely* metaphor or analogy, but I don't think that this is original research or that I am attempting to act unilaterally.
The article as it stands seems whiny and complainy and does not give an unbiased overview of the topic. In its present form it looks like it should be called "master/slave naming controversy".
I'll try again in five years, unless someone else has found a better way to resolve this issue. Ideally someone like John McWhorter should rewrite the article.
Fully expected reversion, but I can't see how the present title doesn't choose a side in the debate (endorsing the terms master/slave) although I am sure that there is any debate, it seems that the language has changed and the article itself makes this case.
