::Unfortunately the article currently describes MFDs as they are used exclusively in aviation. If you say so we might as well merge the pages [[Soft key]] and [[Screen-labeled function keys]] which essentially function as integral parts of MFDs as they are described here.

::: You are right, merging both of those pages into this one makes sense since they are even more specialised. However, they are fine standing alone. There are better uses of our time. --[[User:Pmj|pmj]] ([[User talk:Pmj|talk]]) 23:01, 20 March 2017 (UTC)

:::: Softkeys are not necessarily paired with screens though. They can and are used with LED indicator lights and a printed (dead tree) key mapping. Our article on softkeys even mentions that the keyboard Function Keys are softkeys, and those are not labelled onto your screen, indeed they made dead tree templates to fit onto your keyboard for WordStar or WordPerfect back in the day to indicate their soft functions. -- [[Special:Contributions/70.51.200.162|70.51.200.162]] ([[User talk:70.51.200.162|talk]]) 03:22, 21 March 2017 (UTC)
