PROJECT: Non-permanent keyboard shortcut button labels for an old Pentium III laptop used as an MP3 player.

1. To reduce trial-and-error attempts, print the desired FontStruct shortcut buttons at size ~29 on a piece of printer paper first.

2. Place the adhesive portion of the Post-it™ note(s) *on top of* the recently-printed button labels; the printer paper is now both a carrier & release liner.

3. Reprint the FontStruct shortcut buttons again, this time over the adhesive portions of Post-it™ note(s) stuck to the printer paper.

4. Apply clear adhesive cellophane tape over the Post-it™ note(s) for protection.

5. Remove the Post-it™ note(s) from the printer paper backing.

6. Cut the shortcut buttons to size.

7. Affix the shortcut buttons to the keyboard.

I'm going to make an adaptation of my Spanish keyboard to add some functions and letters from other languages, to see how it turns out.

@BoBots58 - If I thought -- if only for a moment -- that the comment wasn't from a troll account, I might offer some actual advice...  ;^)

@7V80Y LCP (digitalio-2) - Yes, you can use transparent tape (Step #4).  I know other countries call it other things; for instance, here in the States, it's also generically known as Scotch™ tape (named after the popular company brand).
