Isogram code

I had to reinstall windows this week, and during the process of figuring out which button takes you to BIOS, my finger slipped and smashed the keyboard twice, then picked it up and slammed it into the desk. Turns out it was a USB keyboard, which the 'older' mobo ignores until after the OS loads. Talk about laugh. Anyway, I collected the buttons, because I would hate to lose Ctrl, and I'm rather fond of Esc as well. Now I'm looking for a code snippet that can be 'hard-coded' using the standard buttons on a single keyboard. The [Insert] & [Delete] buttons are low hanging fruit, but possibly lack finesse? Also the space bar didn't make it. I was thinking of xkcd: Exploits of a Mom[^, specifically: Robert'); DROP TABLE [Students]; -- The core 'DROP TABLE' contains no repeats, and I imagine Randall wouldn't be absolutely crushed if we changed Robert and Students, but we only have one [;] and one [-]. Most other SQL is going to run out of ['] too. Now I'm working on double entendres using [Insert] [End], and thinking about all of the keyboards I've thrown away :'(

Yeah, sure that's what happened! :laugh: Sounds like a bit of rage to me. :laugh: ...typed on a PS/2 connected HP keyboard from '98. Maybe they don't make 'em like they used to! :)

You'd be surprised at what can happen during normal use. I was famous during my college days for breaking the keyboard on a VT100[^] terminal when I was at work. The VT100 was built like a truck, which was good since the keyboard was unbelievably stiff. You had to pound the thing.
