Just omit all Greek letters from the keyboard and change the sort order instead:

A, a, Α, α,
B, b, Β, β,

You stop where it's beginning to become interesting.

Changing sort order according to your suggestion doesn't help too much in real life IMHO - we've got a lot of commands starting with S/Σ still and create a big set with m/µ. And by throwing Latin and Greek into one pot: shall we put γ to c or to g? χ to c or to h?

About your further suggestions: Depends how strict we are with the 31S being a subset of the 34S. Anyway, we've got auto-repeat for ▼ on the 34S and we can benefit from it in the small catalogs of the 31S.

BTW, we talk about a non-programmable scientific. Thus, ten numbered registers R0 ... R9 plus I, J, and K should do for all real life applications, taking into account the huge set of prestored constants and the (optional) eight level stack.
