The keyboard to my clone "UNITRON 2200" have those built in macros 
too, applesoft-commands and dos-commands. Verry handy when doing 
basicprogramming. I really missed that feature when I started to 
programming C and Pascal on PC.

The only drawback is that the macro-key is the same that changes from 
uppercase to lowercase and also used when doing reset. Constantly 
changeing to lowercase when not wanting to. 
There is allso two keys to make your own macros for the numeric keys.

I have pictures of the Unitron2200computer at

It have drivecontroller and Z80 built in on the motherboard.
When you boot it, it says "DISK ON" instead of "APPLE ]["
