|
|||
|
|
keyboard to indicate some non-standard character which can be accessed
|
|||
|
|
through that key. Pasties are likely to be used in APL environments, where
|
|||
|
|
almost every key is associated with a special character. A pastie on the R
|
|||
|
|
key, for example, might remind the user that it is used to generate the
|
|||
|
|
ρ character. The term properly refers to nipple-concealing devices
|
|||
|
|
formerly worn by strippers in concession to indecent-exposure laws; compare
