[Cin] implementation

[Pierre autourduglobe]

Yes, I use an old "Macally ikey" keyboard (like the one on this picture 
https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZfGU0VZ01uHSol5gSyVyuiqY84SiuREQry0). 
It is very old... But its keys are particularly pleasant and resistant 
to use.

The center of the two Alt keys are in fact separated by precisely 21.3 cm.
