I could have used the arrow keys, but I remember that the older Apple II models did not have left and right arrows as well, and Ctrl+H and Ctrl +U were used instead.

It's hard to tell what those strange-colored keys are, but, in any case,
it's not an actual Apple computer--its keyboard is *very* non-standard.

Many early programs for the Apple II required the left and right arrow
keys to be used, so omitting them would require substituting cumbersome
control key combinations.
