May I place a nice post in the off topic ?
Welll interesting litterature here but this one is for one serious trick ...
I would love to have in one post as much different keyboard layouts as possible, to collect keys positions, and special keys labels.
Wouldn't it be nice as some of us design multilingual software ?
Just before to start, what would be the best way to insert here the layout ? Maybe a PureBasic app could draw it ....

Must be the weather ...
Nor on mine, but that is because it stops popups and I don't know how to stop it stopping popping up.
But with IE can see.

GedB, I knew that link but it is not exhaustive as no special keys are visible easily. I would like to get or build the same but with a full 102 keys keyboard including numpad and the whole upper row, with signs or words usually printed on keycaps.
You know some days ago, just for fun I have guessing to write a typewriter like screen animation. And it let me thought about some posts we have seen requestiong sentences in main languages (or maybe not main but a nice list though).
When coding, even for selling an app to a french customer, I always try to place the stuff in case I would need an US / UK or spanish version.
And this may concern either user messages but also in some cases keys (ie for shortcuts or screen keys).
Well this is the reason why I suggested to start something better than this link to MS.
What do you think if I try to start some code giving a french keyboard (because this is the one I am working on now), and maybe some of us will add datasections for localized layouts ?

Thanks.
FireFox is a pretty neat browser. Smaller than most, and seems to do the same job.
