English keyboard image requester

[zikitrake]

This seems a foolishness. But I have not found anything in google.com.

¿Someone can send me a photo of a keyboard in English as the following one?

(I want to convert my program of typing al English)




Thank you

i don't know it this could be enough. But it is extracted from MagicEngine emulator.

Neither of the keyboards are typically English. The clue is to look at shifted characters on the top row of numeric keys, especially the 2 and 3 and 4 keys.

A good example of a U.K. keyboard is at:

Try hovering the mouse over the diagram.

The United Kingdom layout is similar to the United States layout, except that:
· " and @ are exchanged;
· The key above right-shift immediately to the left of the Enter key is # and ~ when shifted, rather than \ and |;
· Shift-3 gives a £ sign;
· AltGr-4 gives a € sign;
· The key to the immediate left of numeral 1 (backtick, `) gives (logical NOT, ) when shifted (instead of ~) and with AltGr either vertical bar | or broken vertical bar ¦
· The key to the immediate left of Z gives, when shifted, either broken vertical bar ¦ or vertical bar |

Psychophanta, akj very thanks by the answers. I believed that the UK and USA keyboard was the same one.

I will see what can I do

Ehehehe...

Why in hell do english writters use a diferent keyboard from ours

Portuguese is the same has yours Ziki (except on the ñ which we do not use, it's replaced by ª º characthers)

€ is by pressing AltGr + E

Nice coma! There are all.
In my opinion the US one is good. It should be the standard for all the world (countries with different alphabets should have the signs at the side of each letter). For example the Ñ can be done with pushing "~N", just like german Ü for example can be done pressing "¨U". So these keys are a surplus in a keyboard as it can be printed using dead keys.

look at his, interesting :

The myth goes roughly as follows. The QWERTY design (patented by Christopher Sholes in 1868 and sold to Remington in 1873) aimed to solve a mechanical problem of early typewriters. When certain combinations of keys were struck quickly, the type bars often jammed. To avoid this, the QWERTY layout put the keys most likely to be hit in rapid succession on opposite sides. This made the keyboard slow, the story goes, but that was the idea. A different layout, which had been patented by August Dvorak in 1936, was shown to be much faster. Yet the Dvorak layout has never been widely adopted, even though (with electric typewriters and then PCs) the anti-jamming rationale for QWERTY has been defunct for years.

Sorry zikitrake, I had an english keyboard but I blasted it the other day.. I feel sorry now that I see it could been of some help *shrugs*

Why dont you anyway make a vector version .. that way you can easily change the characters on the keys and what not.. Sure you need a reference first. But thats easy, see.
