Habr<p>Почему именно Qwerty и Йцукен? Немного об истории клавиатурных раскладок для русского и английского языков</p><p>К нашему времени раскладки клавиатур Qwerty для английского языка и Йцукен для русского кажутся привычными и само собой разумеющимся. Однако так было не всегда — и в прошлые десятилетия не один мозг был поначалу сломан вопросом «почему в таком странном порядке, есть же алфавит»? История клавиатурных раскладок — особенно для самых распространённых языков — до сих пор изобилует тёмными местами и уходит во времена развитого стимпанка, когда компьютеры были большими и механическими, а на смену работе писцов с гусиными перьями, наконец, стали приходить печатающие устройства.</p><p><a href="https://habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/articles/872438/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">habr.com/ru/companies/ruvds/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticles/872438/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://zhub.link/tags/ruvds_%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%8C%D0%B8_%D0%B2%D1%8B%D1%85%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE_%D0%B4%D0%BD%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ruvds_статьи_выходного_дня</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>история</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D0%B0" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>клавиатура</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B4%D0%BA%D0%B8_%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B0%D1%82%D1%83%D1%80%D1%8B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>раскладки_клавиатуры</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/qwerty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qwerty</span></a> <a href="https://zhub.link/tags/%D0%B9%D1%86%D1%83%D0%BA%D0%B5%D0%BD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>йцукен</span></a></p>

Virtual = Colemak. Physical = QWERTY.</p><p>I guess, it&#39;s because I unconsciously know that the letters displayed on the physical keyboard are still QWERTY even though I don&#39;t look at those.</p><p>It&#39;s why I&#39;m trying to find a keyboard that is programmable, as far as the key display is concerned.</p>
Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@proactivepaul" class="u-url mention">@<span>proactivepaul</span></a></span> For <a href="https://c.im/tags/QWERTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>QWERTY</span></a>, yes.

Yohan Yukiya Sese Cuneta 사요한🦣<p>These cheap keyboards from China, via online platforms (like Shopee) have a weird layout. There is no <a href="https://c.im/tags/AltGr" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AltGr</span></a> / <a href="https://c.im/tags/RAlt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>RAlt</span></a>. They replaced it with the backlight switch.</p><p>Out of curiosity, I bought one. At least now I know (and I need to acquire a regular keyboard fast).</p><p>The keyboard that I am looking for is one that can be customized, this way I can switch between <a href="https://c.im/tags/Colemak" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Colemak</span></a> and <a href="https://c.im/tags/QWERTY" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>QWERTY</span></a> layouts, with AltGr / RAlt key. I don&#39;t care about the extra functions / keys (unless I can program those too). But this type of keyboards is expensive and not easy to find.</p>
