QWERTZ
The main difference between QWERTZ and QWERTY is that the positions of the Z and Y keys are switched (hence the nickname "kezboard"[citation needed]).
This change possibly was made for three major reasons:[citation needed] Similar to many other non-English keyboards: Some of the special key inscriptions are often changed from an abbreviation to a graphical symbol (for example ⇪ Caps Lock becomes a hollow arrow pointing up, ← Backspace becomes a left-pointing arrow).
(See: Key labels) The QWERTZ layout is widely used in German-speaking Europe as well as other Central European and Balkan countries that use the Latin script.
[1] The PC keyboard layout commonly used in Germany and Austria is based on one defined in a former edition (October 1988) of the German standard DIN 2137-2.
[2] The QWERTZ keyboard layout is commonly used in the Czech Republic, but the QWERTY variant is an unofficial option.
Users can access them with the AltGr key, however, the position of these characters varies between different operating systems.
The Serbo-Croatian Latin and Slovene keyboard layout has five additional special characters Č, Ć, Ž, Š and Đ.
Characters Ć and Đ are only part of Gaj's Latin alphabet but not part of the Slovene alphabet, nevertheless they remain in Slovenian keyboards (for economic reasons, for historical reasons and for writing words in the closely related South Slavic languages).
It is possible to type Albanian, Czech, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Romanian, and Slovak using only the Serbo-Croatian keyboard layout.
The command keys would also become translated into Slovene and some minor second level layout changes would be made.
[8] For Serbian, there is also a Cyrillic keyboard variant, in which Q and W are replaced with Љ (Lj) and Њ (Nj) respectively.
It is designed to allow easy access to frequently used accents of the French, German and Italian languages and major currency signs.
The characters shown in black are present in the traditional “T1” layout also.
