Exactly, same here, but two groups instead of one.

After closer inspection there are indeed nine kbuttons the way you
describe it, there are just again two identical groups of them. In this

OK that's solved, now we know what we are talking about. :-)
Sorry for the misunderstanding, it is always difficult to find your way
