Alternate keyboard layouts.

[leo-rcc]

There are other layouts of keyboards? o.o

Yes. They are are used in that area called "the rest of the world"

Well I figured keyboards would be different for languages that don't use the alphabet, but I didn't realize there were different layouts for English keyboards.

hock:

English keyboards?

It types Dutch just as well: Zie je wel?

The thing is, some languages although using alphanumerical characters, also use a lot of letters not commmonly used in the UK/US, like ë and é and ñ and ß. So these countries have those keys where you would have the [ or " or =. The alfabetical keys themselves are sometimes re-arranged for the same reason, the more commonly used to the fingers that type the most.
