The old sun keyboards had a few keys like that. My favorite was the “again” key :)

I feel obligated to add a link to the space-cadet keyboard with its many, many modifier and command keys: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboard

The Hyper-7 is a spiritual successor to the Space Cadet keyboard:

It's a beast.

Do any of those extra keys even work in today’s apps and OSs? What does the Call button even do? Are they essentially macro keys you have to program so they produce a series of keys?

Yes, they're all really just macro keys. Hyper-7 runs on QMK, so you can make any one of those keys do more or less whatever you want.

The first keyboard to have like and dislike keys!
