Keyboard layout can vary depending on geographical region or where you bought your keyboard abroad. If you bought a refurbished laptop, you can also end up with different keyboard layout than your native one.

One of the most widely used keyboard layouts is the US layout, known for its QWERTY arrangement. In this article, we will explore the US keyboard layout, its differences from the UK layout (another commonly used input method), the significance of QWERTY, and how it differs from European keyboards.

The US and British keyboard layouts share many similarities, but also have significant differences. One noticeable distinction is the placement of the "" (pound) symbol. On the UK layout, it appears above 3 in shifted position.

Additionally, the position and shape of the "Enter" key varies, with the US layout having a larger, horizontal "Enter" key (ANSI keyboard type), while the UK layout features a smaller, 7-shaped vertical one (ISO keyboard type).

Differentiating between US and UK layouts is crucial, especially when purchasing or using keyboards. Look for the aforementioned presence of the "" symbol and the "Enter" key shape. Additionally, the location of other symbols like "@" and "#" will differ in the two layouts.

The QWERTY layout is the most prevalent keyboard arrangement worldwide, but is not exclusive to the US. The name "QWERTY" is derived from the first six letters on the keyboard's top row. It was initially developed for typewriters in the late 19th century to prevent mechanical jams while typing. While QWERTY is commonly associated with US keyboards, it is also used in other layouts, including in the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Italy, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Netherlands and many other countries.

Such a change is very common these days. The fastest and easiest way to physically change the keyboard layout is to use keyboard stickers. We offer the best language-changing stickers on the planet, with many layouts, colors, and sizes available. Check them out here.

However, in more recent editions of Windows, the number of 'settings' options was increased, allowing users to select the correct keyboard and dialect independently. For example, one is given a number of default options for locality that will usually correctly match dialect and keyboard. Further, even if the hardware keyboard layout does not match the region that was pre-selected, it can be changed without changing the regional setting.

Since the standard US keyboard layout in Microsoft Windows offers no way of inputting any sort of diacritic or accent, this makes it unsuitable for all but a handful of languages unless the US International layout is used. The US International layout changes the ` (grave), ~ (tilde), ^ (circumflex), " (double quote, to make diaeresis), and ' (apostrophe, to make acute accent) keys into dead keys for producing accented characters: thus for example ' (release) a will produce . The US International layout also uses the right alt (AltGr) as a modifier to enter special characters.[2]

The equivalent mapping for UK/Irish keyboards is called the "UK Extended" layout which, if activated in settings, will allow the user to enter a wide variety of diacritics (such as grave accents) which are not accommodated by the standard UK/Irish layout. In particular, ,,,, used in Scots Gaelic can be made (using `, release and then the vowel), the and used in Welsh (using AltGr+6 (^), release, then w etc.). Likewise, the Spanish and Portuguese letters and can be made (using AltGr+# (~), release, then n etc.).

Other operating systems can optionally re-map the keyboard layout or have different modifier keys (for example the Amiga keyboard has "A" modifier keys and BBC Micro or Acorn keyboards often had a "Shift Lock" as well as a "Caps Lock").

This is Windows itself changing the keyboard layout - it's not really anything to do with Visual Studio, but it happens when you're using Visual Studio because the key combinations you use when tying in code are similar to the default key combinations Windows XP uses for switching keyboard layouts in the fly.

I do not even have US-International keyboard installed, yet Visual Studio constantly reverts back to it (I can see it in the Language bar, but when I go into Control Panel, it is not in the list of installed keyboards).

EDIT: the answer is to go into Visual Studio settings, and select the International Settings pane. Make sure the Language is set to "Same as Microsoft Windows". "English" seems to be the US International keyboard English.

I have built a simple C# Windows Forms application.I set the keyboard settings to US. I have a US keyboard although the rest of the regional settings on the machine are UK (The US version of the Micosoft keyboard I have has one less key than the UK version and it is a backslash, grr.)When I launch the application in the debugger the keyboard settings have miraculously changed back to the UK settings.This happens every time so it is not that another key is being pressed.I should also mention that this occurs in Windows Vista.

In XP if more than 1 keyboard input language is installed (ex: Dvorak and Qwerty) XP will flip flop randomly, particularly back to the OS's default language, and it mostly only happens when using a Microsoft application. And I'm 100% sure I'm not hitting Alt+Shift or any other key combination. This same problem will probably haunt you no matter what keyboard mappings or languages you have.

I have had a similar problem trying to use the UK layout setting with a US keyboard on a laptop. In my case I'm struggling to type the \ and | characters. The US keyboard does have a key with those symbols on it (next to the Enter key) but when using UK layout settings that key actually produces # and ~.

The key I'm trying to find would usually be to the left of the Z key, however this US keyboard simply has a much wider Shift key and the physical key is just missing. I won't stop to count the keys, but I assume this is the difference between a 101-key (US) layout and a 102-key layout.

I'm running ubuntu 17.10 on an 80-key dell Inspiron 11 and I'm trying to add the Latinamerican ("latam") keyboard layout alongside my en (US). The settings GUI lets me add the Spanish ("es") keyboard without a problem, but that has the accent keys in different places. The latam keyboard doesn't show up in the GUI. This wasn't a problem in 16.04.

I've played around with /etc/default/keyboard and dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration, but I haven't gotten them to stick. I also plan on adding a few more layouts, but the most important are en and latam.Thanks!

I happened to have the Spanish language installed, and under that condition the above advice applies. However, if you want to enable the Spanish (Latin American) keyboard layout without installing the Spanish language, you can add some Latin American locale. Open a terminal window and run for instance:

US-International KeyboardThe US-International keyboard uses the ', `, ~, ^," as dead keys (highlighted in blue below),and uses Right-ALT plus !, ?, and a number of other keys to producecharacters not normally available. The accents are intuitive, andthey work with the standard US keyboard so students do not need to learnany special codes or non-standard letter positions.Tap the accent dead key, then tap the vowel for which you want the accent. The ' dead key also works for the cedilla:'+ e =

`+ e =

~+ n = ^+ e =

"+ e =

'+ c = Hitting the spacebar or a non-accented letter after a deadkey produces the key's normal value, i.e. ', `, ~, ^, or ". Caveat: If you type fast, it is easy to get an accent when you actuallymeant to type a real apostrophe before a vowel.Other special characters can be entered by using the Right-Altkey in combination with other keys (esp. useful for , , ). For Spanish,it might be easier to use the Right-Alt key for accents too:Alt-?= Alt-! = Alt-s = Alt-n = Alt-N = Alt-, =

Alt-a= Alt-e = Alt-i = Alt-o = Alt-u = Keyboard Selection tag_hash_132 To select a different base keyboard in the lab, click on the symbol on the taskbar (or Alt-Shift) to choose from a variety of foreign keyboards.

Of course, if you have been following any of my other posts, I do try to provide some historical or technical reasons for certain things, like talking about the history behind a 12th century German castle for example. And, in this case, there really is a reason for the difference, in fact there are two main reasons for the difference in keyboards.

The second reason why there is a significant difference between a German vs. an American keyboard has to do with the additional letters within the German alphabet called umlauts. These letters look like this:

I made a prototype to help me remember the shortcuts diffences for my Danish Qwerty PC keyboard. I hope it can help some of you

I think norwegian should be the same @Martin_Klausen ? try hitting CTRL+(the key above tab to show/hide UI)

Rest-assured, Figma is continuing to expand internationally and along with that must come multilingual design to reach our international audiences and better support the Figma community around the world. Please stay tuned for updates for our non-US keyboard users!

Now, every now and again I need to write something in Swedish. The standard way of doing this, and the way I used to do it before my romance with the text editor Vim, was to use the layout switching feature of the operating system. This can be set to switch between two or more keyboard layouts, for example the American and Swedish layouts (shown below). The switch can be mapped to some easily accessed key combination. I have it set to COMMAND+SPACE on my Mac. This is quite convenient if you are typing in a lot of different applications. The problem with this is that the Swedish keyboard layout not only adds three Swedish characters (relative to the American layout), it also moves a bunch characters around, including ?, :, ;, -, ", &, *, \, /, `, and all four pairs of delimiters ( e24fc04721
