Per the helpful suggestion, I’ve attached the keyboard from my old, half-dead iMac DV — I knew there was a reason I was keeping it around.
Because the resulting configuration takes up so much vertical desk space, I’m considering a Rube Goldbergian setup where I will trigger the “h” on the (remotely located) iMac keyboard via a system of pulleys, but will use the iBook keyboard for everything else.
I realize that this is a terrible idea, and I probably won’t do it.
Mostly because I can’t figure out how to hold down the “shift” key via pulley system.
(Do the kids of today know who Rube Goldberg was? I’ve included an example of his work below.)

A machine that involves a confused football player, a cabbage, and paint.
