-- The QWERTZ layout is fairly widely used in Germany and much of Central Europe. The main difference between it and QWERTY is that Y and Z are swapped, and most special characters such as brackets are replaced by diacritical characters.

-- The AZERTY layout is used in France, Belgium and some neighbouring countries. It differs from the QWERTY layout thus:

* A and Q are swapped,
* Z and W are swapped,
* M is moved from the right of N to the right of L (where colon/semicolon is on a US keyboard),
* The digits 0 to 9 are on the same keys, but to be typed the shift key must be pressed. The unshifted positions are used for accented characters.

-- The QZERTY layout is used mostly, if not exclusively, in Italy, where it is very common on typewriters.

The QWERTY layout was designed in the 19th century to allow typewriter salesmen to easily type the word "typewriter" and to prevent typebars from sticking. We've been stuck with QWERTY ever since.

This is the keyboard layout that I use

And this is the keyboard that I use.

songhoh, Byron's long lost brother???

Here is the production version of the above keyboard. I like the warning about the price, based on the first website I can see this isnt an afternoon project.

Yes, trash haulers out of Mildenhall in 1978. I once busted a hard altitude climbing out of Frankfurt by 200', that was painful.

Smooth (left) and scalloped (right) idealized humpback whale flipper models used for wind tunnel testing of lift, drag, efficiency, and stall behavior. While testing, only one of the models is mounted in the wind tunnel. These idealized, scale models, milled from clear polycarbonate sheet, use a NACA 0020 sectional profile (20% thick).
