The use of ON/OFF with the KEY command seems to be from the unreleased Commodore LCD.
Remnants of this code can be found in the BASIC 7.0 ROMs of the Commodore 128;
however such use doesn't function in v7.0. It's main use is to select one of many program lines (a switch statement in other languages)
using either GOTO or GOSUB.
Example:
10 INPUT N
20 ON N GOTO 100, 200, 300
30 STOP
100 PRINT 1 : END
200 PRINT 2 : END
300 PRINT 3 : END

With the disk-related commands (DLOAD and friends), the ON preposition appears to perform the same task as a comma:
to seperate items in a list. However the ON keyword may be used where a comma would generate a SYNTAX ERROR.
Very hard to describe, so here are some examples!
DIRECTORY "*" , U8
0 "SAMPLE DISK " H2 2A
664 BLOCKS FREE
READY.
DIRECTORY "*" ON U8
0 "SAMPLE DISK " H2 2A
664 BLOCKS FREE
READY.
DIRECTORY , U8
?SYNTAX ERROR
READY.
DIRECTORY ON U8
0 "SAMPLE DISK " H2 2A
664 BLOCKS FREE
