My suggested wording, which would be added as key table notes and which would
show up at the top of the key binding listing, is:
There are two Nav keys - one at each side of the top.
* Each has three actions: Up, Down, and Press.
* On some models, a Nav key is a wheel which can be both rolled and pressed.
* On others, it's an up/down rocker along with a pressable button.
On older models, the Selector keys are known as GDF (General Display Function) keys.
