What's on your 3 key then? Is it a hot key to fast food?

hah! Jealous of our leet fast food summoning keyboards.

Actually, not on our 3 key is #, which coincidentally is called the pound sign. At least over here. 4 is $.

Hell, I only just recently found out Ox uses an AZERTY keyboard... freakin' weird. I assume all you more civilized folks are using QWERTY, yes?

Off course we use QWERTY over here, it's only in backward francophone countries where AZERTY is used. Although Dutch layout keyboards appear to exist (at least you can choose to use the layout in various OS's), I've never seen any. Apparently the only difference are "auxiliary" keys like ; ' etc.

You ain't on speaking terms with PHP, I see.

Heh... interesting that about AZERTY. I was always using QWERTY and US keyboard type and there I didn't feel any discomfort at all, even when using letters like

а б в г д ђ е ж з и ј к л љ м н њ о п р с т ћ у ф х ц ч џ ш

or

ä ö ü ß

even till now not mentioned:

€ (German layout, alt+e)

they are all there, available by simple switching the input language.

Anyways.. I do not need anything else. Hail to US keyboards.

Try the bulgarian one. The order is totally different. In example "A" is on "D", comma is on "Q", "B" is on "?" etc. Let tell that they use an ",UEI(SH)(SHT)" - ",уеишщ" keyboard. That was weird for me.

And they use it together with US and other layouts, surprisingly.

don't even have to change layout for most of them if you know the ascii code. Ahhh the days when you were bored at school and typed in random ascii codes to see what you could find... then we discovered the internet ;)

For many of them you'd need unicode or whatever codes, as even extended ASCII would not cover all of them. Not to mention that it needs more than one-two taster(s) per symbol and that ASCII isn't equally interpreted on each mech. I just switch the input language and the OS sets the wished keyset for me. Life is beautiful. :о)

yea, I had to test some stuff in the software I support regarding French language interpretation (of dates, mainly)... but the only way to do that was to switch my language and all that to French. I went ahead and switched keyboard layouts and all that lovely stuff just to be safe....and had a hell of a time typing since the French keyboard is laid out just a little bit differently then the US keyboard.

So...do you guys have a # key?

yeah its called a hash here, and its next to enter/return. with ~ as the shift function on it.

I think the ~ is under Esc on american keyboards, am I right? Coz with Sacred you're supposed to hit ~ to bring up the console and they always describe it as being under Esc. But then again tahts a german company so could be an azerty... dunno.

dvorak is for wanna be artsy people. Anyway, yes, the tilde is on the same key as the back tick (`), whcih is just to the left of the 1. Next to the enter/return key? To the let we have '/", and above we have \ and |. And that's about that. Interesting. :p
