I think the layout of your post could really benefit from some formatting, in particular the final part of it.

Sorry the post doesn't appear to make it particularly clear what I want your opinions on, but it is supposed to be asking about the layout of the programming keys and the program function menus—not its own layout as that is unhelpful to designing the calculator. So what do you all think of the layout of programming keys and the programming menu tree?
Once again, for your reference, here is what the key row and menu tree will look like:
Unshifted: P/R|GOTO |LBL |?x=|IS? |SOLVE|FLAGS
Shifted: R/S|GOSUB|RETURN|?≠|DS? |STOP |PAUSE
The menus will be:
GOTO—1 GOTO, 2 GOTOT, 3 GOTOF
Shift+GOSUB—1 GOSUB, 2 GOSUBT, 3 GOSUBF, 4 XEQ
Shift+GOSUB+4—1 XEQ, 2 XEQT, 3 XEQF
?x=—1 ?=, 2 ?≈, 3 ?≥, 4 ?≳, 5 ?≤, 6 ?≲
Shift+?≠—1 ?≠, 2 ?≉, 3 ?<, 4 ?>
IS?—1 ISE, 2 ISA, 3 ISG
Shift+DS?—1 DSE, 2 DSA, 3 DSL
FLAGS—1 SF, 2 CF, 3 TF
FLAGS+1—1 SF, 2 SFT, 3 SFF
FLAGS+2—1 CF, 2 CFT, 3 CFF
FLAGS+3—1 TF, 2 TFT, 3 TFF, 4 TFI
FLAGS+3+4—1 TFIS, 2 TFIST, 3 TFISF, 4 TFIC, 5 TFICT, 6 TFICF
On a side note, the (I) register is not the only index register of the calculator—it is merely the only dedicated index register—every other register can store indices of other registers, but it is necessary to use a prefix key to flag the value in the register as an index rather than a normal number.
